Answer:  Allyson got the large order of cheese sticks 5 times.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Allyson loves to eat cheese sticks. A small order comes with 3 cheese sticks, and a large order comes with 6 cheese sticks.

Last month, Allyson ordered cheese sticks a total of 7 times and she received a total of 36 cheese sticks.

We are to find the number of times she got large order of cheese sticks.

Let x and y represent the number of times she got the small order and large order respectively of cheese sticks.

Then, according to the given information, we have

x+y=7~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\3x+6y=36~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Multiplying equation (i) by 3, we have

3x+3y=21~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iii)

Subtracting equation (iii) from equation (ii), we get

(3x+6y)-(3x+3y)=36-21\\\\\Rightarrow 3y=15\\\\\Rightarrow y=5.

Thus, Allyson got the large order of cheese sticks 5 times.

How can you tell if two equations for parallel lines or perpendicular lines. please explain?
kicyunya [14]
To find out if they are parallel we need to see if the gradient is the same, to do this we need to get y in terms of x:
assuming the first equation is x+y+7=0
y=-x-7
and
y=x-3
The gradient is the coefficient of x (the number infront of x)
For equation 1 the gradient is -1, and for number 2 it is 1, therefore they are not parallel.
However to check if they are perpendicular we need to see if their gradients multiply to equal -1.
-1*1=-1 therefore they are perpendicular
