we need to get y alone so subtract 2x from both sides of the equation
2x+4y=12
-2x -2x
-----------------------
4y=-2x+12 now divide both sides by 4
y = -2x/4 +12/4
y = -1/2 x +3
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
We have the problem:
"Clare is in charge of getting snacks for a road trip with her friends and her dog. She has
$35 to go to the store to get some supplies. The snacks for herself and her friends cost
$3.25 each, and her dog's snacks costs $9 each."
In this situation we have two variables:
X = number of snacks for herself and her friends that she buys. Each one of these costs $3.50
Y = number of snacks for her dog that she buys. Each one of these costs $9.
The total cost, in this case, can be written as:
X*$3.50 + Y*$9
And we know that she has $35 to spend, so she can spend $35 or less in the store, then we have the inequality:
X*$3.50 + Y*$9 ≤ $35
Where we defined all the quantities in the inequality.
