Hey there!!
What is slope-intercept form :
... y = mx + b
( a ) Given :
... ( 2 , -2 ) and slope=1.4
... y = mx + b
... -2 = 2×1.4 + b
... -2 = 2.8 + b
... -4.8 = b
The slope-intercept form :
... y = 1.4x - 4.8
( b ) Given :
... ( -1 , 4 ) and slope = -3.
y = mx + b
... 4 = -3×-1 + b
... 4 = 3 + b
... 1 = b
The slope-intercept form :
... y = -3x + 1
Note :
( m = slope and b = y-intercept )
Hope my answer helps!!
Answer:
There were 7 small boxes and 14 large boxes shipped.
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem may be solved by a system of equations:
I am going to say that:
x is the number of small boxes used
y is the number of large boxes used
There were twice as many large boxes shipped as small boxes shipped
This means that y = 2x
Each small box of paper weighs 45 pounds and each large box of paper weighs 80 pounds. The total weight of all boxes was 1435 pounds.
This means that 45x + 80y =1435
So we have to solve the following system:
y=2x
45x + 80y =1435
45x + 80 (2x) = 1435
205x = 1435
x= 1435/205
x=7
y=2x= 2(7) = 14
There were 7 small boxes and 14 large boxes shipped.
First do 210 - 20 = 190
Then do 190/5 = 38
38 people per bus is the answer!!!!
According to my examination I have confirmed that I do NOT repeat do NOT know this.
