The slope is 2 because after u use the slope formula u get 4/2 which reduces to 2
Answer and explanation:
<h2>X</h2>
3x + 6y = 180 <em>Use the original expression to find x</em>
3x = 180 - 6y <em>Subtract 6y by both sides</em>
<em>Divide by 3 to get x</em>
x = 60 - 3y
<h2>Y</h2>
x = 60 - 3y <em>Use the new expression to find y</em>
x - 60 = - 3y <em>Subtract 60 by both sides</em>
<em>Divide by -3 to get y</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x
be the kg of coffee of brand A in the mix and
y
be the kg of coffee of brand B in the mix.
The total kg must be
50
.
x
+
y
=
50
The cost per kg of the mix must br
$
7.20
. For this, the total cost of the mix will be
6
x
+
8
y
, so the total cost per kg of the mix will be
6
x
+
8
y
50
.
6
x
+
8
y
50
=
7.20
Now that we have our two equations, we can solve.
6
x
+
8
y
=
7.20
⋅
50
6
x
+
8
y
=
360
From the first equation, we can multiply both sides by
6
to get:
6
x
+
6
y
=
300
Subtracting, we get:
2
y
=
60
y
=
30
Thus, we need
30
kg of brand B in our mix. This means that
50
−
30
=
20
kg will be of brand A.
60+-90x would be equivalent.
