So when you are trying to find the solution to the system of equations make sure that you have it where y= -4/5x-6 and y= -30 are written like this:
-30=-4/5x-6
And then solve for x:
Add 6 on both sides.
-24=-4/5x
Then multiply by the reciprocal of -4/5.
-5/4*-24=-5/4*-4/5x
x=30
But then you are gonna want to plug 30 in for x in y=-4/5x-6 to make sure that it is the same as y=-30.
The y/x values all have the same ratio, 2/5. The line is
y = (2/5)x
Answer: 0.04 per pound
Step-by-step explanation:
A 5 pound bag of apples costs 4.50.
The unit price will be 4.50 divided by 5 which will be:
4.50 ÷ 5 = 0.9
The unit price is 0.9 per pound
A 8 pound bag of the same type of apples costs 7.52.
The unit price will be 7.52 divided by 8 which will give:
7.52 ÷ 8 = 0.94
The unit price is 0.94 per pound
The difference in the unit prices will be the subtraction of 0.90 from 0.94.
0.94 - 0.90 = 0.04
The difference in the unit prices is 0.04 per pound.
