If 2 sodas and 4 hamburgers are $12.00 and 4 sodas and 2 hamburgers are $9.00 how much is a single hamburger?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2s + 4h = 12, (1) 4s + 2h = 9. (2) Multiply (1) by 2. You will get 4s + 8h = 24, (1') 4s + 2h = 9. (2') Distract (2') from (1'). You will get 8h - 2h = 24 - 9, or 6h = 15 ---> h = = = 2.5. Thus one hamburger price is $2.50. Then from (1) s = = 1. Answer. One hamburger price is $2.50 and 1 soda costs $1.00.

There is even more elegant way to solve the problem.

Simply add all hamburgers and all sodas. 6 hamburgers and 6 sodas. $12 + $9 = $21.

Hence, 1 hamburger + 1 soda = = $3.50.

Having this, everybody can solve to the end in this way, actually, without equations and using the mental math only.

A pet store sells dog food in a 3-pound bag for $12.00 and a 5-pound bag for $14.25. Which bag of dog food is the better buy? Ex

Bess [88]

The 5-pound bag is better value.

The easiest way to compare and find out which is a better buy is to find out how much is being charged for 1-pound of food in each bag.

$12 is divided by 3 beacuse it's a 3-pound bag and we are aiming to find what 1-pound is equal to.

$12 ÷ 3 = $4

So the first bag charges $4 per pound of food.

Then use the same method for the 5-pound bag.

$14.25 ÷ 5 = $2.85

So the second charges $2.85 per pound of food.

So as we can see, the 5-pound bag is clearly better value. For each pound of food you are saving $1.15 in comparison to what you would be spending if you opted for the first bag.

Hope this helps!

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

y = x + 2

Slope = rise / run

= 2 / 2 (or 1 bc 2 divided by 2 is 1)

The plotted point on the x axis is on 2

y = x + 2
