Answer: 2 lbs of cherries
Cherries = $5 per pound
Oranges = $2 per pound
Total Cost = $18
Total weight = 6 lb
------------------------------------
Define x and y
------------------------------------
Let x be the number of lb of cherries
Let y be the number of lb of oranges
------------------------------------
Construct equations
------------------------------------
x + y = 6 ---------------------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 18 ---------------------------- (2)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x and y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From equation (1):
x + y = 6
x = 6 - y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 6 - y into equation 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5x + 2y = 18
5 (6 - y) + 2y = 18
30 - 5y + 2y = 18
3y = 30 - 18
3y = 12
y = 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = 4 into equation (1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 6
x + 4 = 6
x = 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the weight of cherries and oranges
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cherry = x = 2 lb
Oranges = y = 4 lbs
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Alex bought 2 lb of cherries
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The change in x between the two is 3 and the change in y is -9.
Divide -9 by 3 to get -3 using the rise over run slope formula.
The equation is y = -8 + -3x because the -8 in the second set of coordinates is the y-intercept of the equation.
Hope this helps!
The answer is 25 because
5*5=25
Answer:
Image below!
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Plotting </u>
<u />
Step 1: determine the y-intercept
- plot the point as the first point on the graph
Step 2: Move 2 units up, and 1 unit left (keep repeating this process until you have reached the limit of the graph)
Step 3: Go to the other side of the graph of the first point (y-intercept)
- move 2 units down, and 1 unit right keep repeating this process until you have reached the limit of the graph)
<em>When you've completed this process, it should look like this:</em>
By rearranging x = 7y - 5 to make y the subject, we get
x + 5 = 7y ( By transposition method )
or,
