Assume E represents the cost of an egg and T represents the cost of one piece of toast.
We can construct two equations :
2E + T = $3.00 - - - - - (a)
E + T = $1.80 - - - - - (b)
Subtract equation b from a:
E = $1.20 (The price of one egg)
To find out the price of one piece of toast, replace the price of one egg in equation b:
T = $1.80 - $1.20 = $0.60 (The price of one piece of toast)
Hope that helps you
1. Since -4 doesn’t equal -2, we will use the first function. All you have to do is plug in -4 to x, and you should get
-3
2. -2=-2, so we will use the second function to get the answer of
3
3. Once again we will be using the first function, so just plug 5 into the answer to get
-7.5
Hope this helped :)
length of a rectangle is 6 less than 3 times its width"
L = 3W-6
"perimeter of the rectangle is 148 meters"
2L + 2W = 148
L + W = 74
(3W-6) + W = 74
4W = 80
W = 20 m
L = 3W-6 = 54 m
John's function : y = 3.5x - 4
Penny's function : y = 3x + 4
C. John's function has a greater rate of change, because 3.5 > 3
