Let s, m, L represent the number of small, medium, and Large cups of coffee Kyle filled.
  s +m +L = 35 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . served 35 cups
  10s +14m +20L = 544 . . . . . . . . using 544 ounces of coffee
  .95s +1.15m +1.50L = 43.60 . . . while collecting $43.60

Solving these 3 linear equations in 3 unknowns by your favorite method, you find
  Kyle filled 6 small cups (10 oz)
  Kyle filled 16 medium cups (14 oz)
  Kyle filled 13 Large cups (20 oz)

_____
Elimination is a reasonable way to start. Subtract 10 times the first equation from the second, and 0.95 times the first equation from the third. Then you have
  4m +10L = 194
  .2m +.55L = 10.35
Now, you can subtract .05 times the first of these equation from the last to get
  .05L = .65
  L = 13
Back-substituting gets you the values of the other variables.

Solve- the second side of a triangular deck is 4 feet longer than the shortest​ side, and the third side is 4 feet shorter than
ddd [48]

Let the length of the shortest side be x, then the length of the second side is x + 4 and the length of the third side is 2x - 4.

Then, x + x + 4 + 2x - 4 = 52

4x = 52

x = 52/4 = 13

Therefore, the lengths of the sides of the triangle are: x = 13, x + 4 = 13 + 4 = 17 and 2x - 4 = 2(13) - 4 = 26 - 4 = 22.

i.e. 13, 17, 22

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the point (-2,1) and is perpendicular to the equation
blondinia [14]
Let's convert the equation into slope-intercept form.

3x + 18y = 4
Subtract 3x from both sides.
18y= -3x + 4
Divide both sides by 18.
y = -3/18x + 4/18
Simplify.
y = -1/6x + 2/9

To make a line perpendicular, we need the slope to be the reciprocal of the other. Flip the denominator and numerator, and change the sign. We also have to change the b to make the line go through (-2, 1)

-1/6 to +6/1, or 6.

y = 6x + b

Input the x and y values and solve for b.

1 = 6(-2) + b
1 = -12 + b
Add 12 to both sides.
13 = b

y = 6x + 13

Triangle ABC has been rotated 90° to create triangle DEF. Write the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the side of triangle A
Ket [755]

the equation in the slope-intercept of the side of triangle ABC that is perpendicular to segment EF is y = x + 1

<h3>How to determine the equation</h3>

From the figure given, we can deduce the coordinates of the sides

For A

A ( 4,2)

For B

B ( 4, 5)

C ( 1, 2)

D ( 2, -4 )

E  ( 5, -4)

F ( 2, -1)

The slope for BC

Slope = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

Substitute the values for both B and C coordinates, we have

Slope = \frac{2- 5}{1 - 4}

Find the difference for both the numerator and denominator

Slope = \frac{-3}{-3}

Slope = 1

We have the rotation for both point ( 0, 1)

y - y1 = m ( x - x1)

The values for y1 and x1 are 1 and 0 respectively and the slope m is 1

Substitute the values

y - 1 = 1 ( x - 0)

y - 1 = x

Make 'y' the subject of formula

y = x + 1

Thus, the equation in the slope-intercept of the side of triangle ABC that is perpendicular to segment EF is y = x + 1
