Answer:
a = 10, b = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
4+2(5x-8) = ax +b
4 + 10x - 16 = ax + b
10x - 12 = ax + b
Infinitely many solutions when:
a = 10
b = -12
Answer: 26/3
Step-by-step explanation: When dividing by a fraction, we can change
the division sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction.
So 13/2 ÷ 3/4 means the same thing as 13/2 · 4/3.
So when dividing by a fraction, we can just multiply
by the reciprocal of that fraction or that fraction flipped.
Next we cross-cancel.
4 and 2 reduce to 2 and 1.
Multiplying across the numerator and denominators we have 26/3.
The answer would be 620000
Answer:
<u></u>
- <u>No. You would have to cut the number of veggie burgers in more than half.</u>
Explanation:
<u>1. Model the situation with a system of equations</u>
<u />
<u>a) Name the variables:</u>
- number of turkey burgers: t
- number of veggie burgers: v
<u />
<u>b) Number of burgers:</u>
<u />
<u>c) Cost of the 50 burgers:</u>
<u>2. Solve that system of equations:</u>
<u />
<u>a) System</u>
<u>b) Mutliply the first equation by 2 and subtract the second equation</u>
- 100 = 2t + 2v
- 90 = 2t + 1.50v
- v = 20 ⇒ t = 50 - 20 = 30
<u />
<u>c) How much would you spend if the next year you buy the double of 20 turkey burgers (40) and the half of 30 veggie burgers (15)</u>
- $2(40) + $1.50(15) = $80 + $22.50 = $102.50
Then, you if you double the number of turkey burgers, and cut the number burgers in half, you would spend more than $90 ($102.50).
