Answer:
y intercept is 5. x intercept is 5/7
The answer to the question is a
5x+3y=58
5x-3y=22
(3y gets cancelled bc 3y-3y=0, then add 5x with 5x, so you're left with)
10x=80, (divide both sides by 10)
x=8
Now we look for y. So choose one formula from the two (let's say 5x + 3y=58)
Substitute x for 8 so it will look like---- 5(8)+3y=58
Multiply 5*8--- so you get -- 40+3y=58
Subtract 40 from both sides and you're left with 3y=18
divide both sides by 3
you get y=6
In conclusion, x=8 and y=6 hence, (8,6)
2.5x1.30=3.25
4x4.50=18
2x3.75=7.5
3.25+18+7.5=$28.75 total price
2.5+4+2=8.5lb. total weight
28.75/8.5= 3.38 dollars per pound.
