Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
X: # of pairs of socks; y: # of blouses
Then $2.99x+$12.99y=$43.92.
The equation is 138=300-3x
now solve by first subtracting 300 from each side: -162=-3x
divide each side by -3: x=54

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) First, find the slope of the equation. Use the slope formula . Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:
Thus, the slope is .
2) Now, use the point-slope formula to write the equation in point-slope form (from there we can convert it to slope-intercept). Substitute values for , , and .
Since represents the slope, substitute for it. Since and represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, choose any of the given points (it doesn't matter which one, the end result will be the same) and substitute its x and y values into the formula as well. (I chose (4,1), as seen below.) Then, isolate y to put the equation in slope-intercept form and find the answer.
