Answer:

She needs 112 ounces of Solution A and 48 ounces of Solution B.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a is the ounces of Solution A, and b is the ounces of Solution B, then:

a + b = 160

0.45a + 0.95b = 0.60(160)

Solve the system of equations.  Using substitution:

0.45a + 0.95(160 − a) = 0.60(160)

0.45a + 152 − 0.95a = 96

56 = 0.5a

a = 112

b = 48

She needs 112 ounces of Solution A and 48 ounces of Solution B.

Slope =<br> ; y-intercept = -3
Goshia [24]

Question is incomplete Let assume the Slope = 2

Answer:

Therefore the Equation of line is

y=2x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Slope = 2 ( Assumption )

y-intercept = -3

To Find:

Equation of Line in Slope-intercept form

Solution:

Equation of Line in Slope-intercept Form is given as

y=mx+c

Where,

m=Slope\\c=y-intercept

So, substituting Slope =2 and y-intercept = -3 in above we get

y=2\times x -3 Which is the Required Equation of line

Therefore the Equation of line is

y=2x -3
