Answer:
2x + y = 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the slope of the required line by writing the line 2x + y = -5 in slope intercept form:
2x + y = -5
y = -2x - 5
- so the slope is -2.
Therefore the required equation is
y = -2x + 2 (where 2 is the y-intercept).
Converting to standard form:
y = -2x + 2
2x + y = 2.
<u>Answer-</u>
2, 4, and 8 people will need 1, 2, 4 pounds of turkey respectively.
<u>Solution-</u>
Given in the question, number of pounds of turkey varies directly with the number of people, i.e as the number of people increases or decreases, the pound of turkey also increases or decreases.
Taking,
x = number of people,
y = pounds of turkey.
This condition can be represented as,

As given in the question, when x = 6 y = 3


Now, putting the values of k in the equation, the equation becomes

Now, we can get the values of y or number of pounds of turkey needed by putting the given x or number of people.
All the calculations are shown in the attached table.
Answer:
The price of the admission is 15.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the information given, you can write the following equations:
a+3e=45 (1)
a+5e=65 (2), where:
a is the admission cost
e is the exhibition cost
First, you can solve for a in (1):
a=45-3e (3)
Second, you can replace (3) in (2):
45-3e+5e=65
45+2e=65
2e=65-45
2e=20
e=20/2
e=10
Finally, you can replace the value of e in (3):
a=45-3e
a=45-3(10)
a=45-30
a=15
According to this, the price of the admission is 15.
