Answer:

m = 4, c = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation si

=> y-4x = -1

=> y = 4x-1

Comparing it with the standard form of slope intercept equation:

=> $y = mx+c$

We get,

m = 4, c = -1

Marie, Shelia, and Martha bought snacks for a girl's sleepover. They each bought the items shown in the following table at the l

creativ13 [48]

Using a system of equations, it is found that the unit prices are:

$2.25 for a bag of chips.

$1.50 for a liter of pop.

$1.75 for a chocolate bar.

For the system:

x is the unit price of a bag of chips.

y is the unit price of liter of pop.

z is the unit price for a chocolate bar.

From the table, the equations are:

$2x + 2y + z = 9.25$

$3x + 4y + z = 14.50$

$x + 3y + 3z = 12$

Replacing the <u>first equation on the second and the third:</u>

$z = 9.25 - 2x - 2y$

$3x + 4y + z = 14.50$

$3x + 4y + 9.25 - 2x - 2y = 14.50$

$x + 2y = 5.25$

$x = 5.25 - 2y$

$x + 3y + 3z = 12$

$x + 3y + 3(9.25 - 2x - 2y) = 12$

$-5x - 3y = -15.75$

$5x + 3y = 15.75$

Since $x = 5.25 - 2y$ :

$5(5.25 - 2y) + 3y = 15.75$

$-7y = -10.5$

$y = \frac{10.5}{7}$

$y = 1.5$

Then:

$x = 5.25 - 2y = 5.25 - 2(1.5) = 2.25$

$z = 9.25 - 2x - 2y = 9.25 - 2(2.25) - 2(1.5) = 1.75$

The unit prices are:

$2.25 for a bag of chips.

$1.50 for a liter of pop.

$1.75 for a chocolate bar.

A person flipped a coin 100 times and obtained 73 heads. Can the person conclude that the coin was unbalanced?

Kitty [74]

They can not, there are only 2 sides and they probably flipped it different ways. They got 'lucky'.

2x+3y=1 and y=-2 - 9 solve using linear combination method. Please explain steps.

kaheart [24]

Answer:

$x=17$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x+3y=1$

$y=-2-9$

In order to combine these two equations, an idea you need to keep in mind is finding a way of setting these equations as equal to each other. I saw that each equation shared a common value, $y$ . In this case, we need to isolate $y$ in the first equation so that both equations $=y$ .

$2x+3y=1$

$3y=-2x+1$

$\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{-2x+1}{3}$

$y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}$

With this, we now know that both $-2-9$ and $-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}$ are equal to $y$ , so we can set them equal to each other.

$y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}$

$y=-11$

$-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}=-11$

Reply to this if anything I'm saying or doing is confusing in any way, or if you find a mistake. :) Solve for $x$ .

$-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}=-11$

$-\frac{2}{3}x=-11-\frac{1}{3}$

$-\frac{2}{3}x =-\frac{33}{3}-\frac{1}{3}$

$-\frac{2}{3}x =-\frac{34}{3}$

$-\frac{2}{3}x(-\frac{3}{2})=-\frac{34}{3}(-\frac{3}{2})$

$x=\frac{102}{6}=17$

$x=17$

Hopefully this answer is correct AND makes sense in terms of how I achieved it. Again, reply to this with any questions or mistakes I made and I'll do my best to answer or fix them.
