Answer:

5 cakes


hope it helps

Step-by-step explanation:

if one cake feed 14 people and you are tying to fine out how many cakes you need to feed 60 people you would have to divide 60 by 14

1 cake = 14 people

? cakes = 60 people

60 ÷ 14 = 4.28

so in order to have enough for 60 people you need to round so you would need 5 cakes

to check you answer you can multiply 5 by 14 and you answer should be the amount of people

5 x 14 = 70

why  cant it be 4? well because if you buy 4 cakes there wont be enough for 60 people and to make sure it wont be enough you can multiply 4 x 14

4 x 14 = 56

so 4 cakes only feeds 56 people so that is why your answer is 5 cakes are needed

Which matrix can be used to solve the system?
Brut [27]
It's the last choice.  In the top row you have the 1's that are the coefficients on the x and the y, and the solution for that equation is 21; in the second row you have the 5 from the x and the 4 from the y and the solution for that equation which is 20.  I'm more used to writing them down instead of across, but there you have it anyways

PLEASE HELP<br> Write an equation of the line in slope intercept form (SEE PICTURE)
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

y=-2x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate the slope:

(8-0)/(0-4)= -2=m

Find the Y-intercept:

y=8 $=c$ when x=0

Using the form: $y=mx+c$, we have the equation as:

$y=-2x+8$
