21 cars, 32 motorcycles.
create a system of equations using x for cars and y for motorcycles.
$\left \{ {{x+y=53} \atop {4x+2y=148}} \right.$
multiply the top equation by 2 to prepare for elimination method
$\left \{ {{2x+2y=106} \atop {4x+2y=148}} \right.$
subtract terms
$\left \{ {{2x+2y=106} \atop {-4x-2y=-148}} \right. = (-2x = -42)$
divide both sides by negative 2 to solve for x
x =21
plug in x into original equation to solve for y.
21 + y = 53
subtract both sides by 21
y=32

BabaBlast [244]

C= Cost
g= # of times games played

C = 0.50g + 3

C(0) = 0.50(0) + 3
C(0) = 0 + 3
C(0) = 3

This means that no games have been played yet and the entrance fee is $3

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line shown? (0,2) (3,0)

Greeley [361]

Step-by-step explanation:

This means that if a line is perpendicular to a line that has slope m, then the slope of the line is -1 / m. For example, we found that the slope of the line y = (1/2)x + 3 is 1/2. Thus any line that is perpendicular to this line would have slope -2 /1 = -2.
