Answer:

Option D is correct that she took 3 pounds of jellybeans and 2 pounds of chocolate drops

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Terri  wants jelly beans and chocolate drops.

Jelly beans sell for $0.90 per pound

Chocolate drops sell for $0.70 per pound.

Terri’s bag weighs 5 pounds

It costs $4.10.

To Find : How much she bought jellybeans and chocolate drops?

Solution :

Let she took x pounds of jellybeans.

Let she took y pounds of chocolate drops.

Since we are given that her bag weighs 5 pounds .

⇒x+y=5  ---(A)

Now cost of 1 pound of jelly beans = $0.90

So, Cost of  x pounds of jellybeans. = $0.90 x

Now cost of 1 pound of chocolate drops.  =$0.70

So, Cost of  y pounds of chocolate drops.  = $0.70 y

Since we are given that total cost of her bag of 5 pounds is $4.10

⇒0.90 x+0.70 y= 4.10  ---(B)

Solving A and B by using substitution method

Substitute value of x from (A) in (B)

⇒0.90 (5-y)+0.70 y= 4.10


⇒4.5-0.90 y+0.70 y= 4.10



⇒4.5-0.20 y= 4.10


⇒4.5-4.10= 0.20 y


⇒0.4= 0.20 y


⇒\frac{0.4}{0.20} =y


⇒2 =y

Thus, she took y = 2 pounds of chocolate drops.

Now to calculate x substitute this value of y in (A)

⇒x+2=5


⇒x=5-2


⇒x=3

Thus, she took x = 3 pounds of jellybeans

Hence , Option D is correct that she took 3 pounds of jellybeans and 2 pounds of chocolate drops

3x-2y=6<br><br> y=3/2x-3<br><br> Find the slope, x-intercept, and y-intercept for both equations.
lys-0071 [83]

The slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have 3x - 2y = 6       <em>subtract 3x from both sides</em>

-2y = -3x + 6      <em>divide both sides by -2</em>

y = 3/2 x - 3

slope: m = 3/2

y-intercept: b = -3

x-intercept for y = 0. Substitute:

3/2 x - 3 = 0      <em>add 3 to both sides</em>

3/2 x = 3       <em>multiply both sides by 2/3</em>

x = 2

<h3>Answer:</h3><h3>slope = 3/2</h3><h3>y-intercept = -3</h3><h3>x-intercept = 2</h3>

----------------------------------------------------------------

y = 3/2 x - 3 it's the same function like first function.

21.) A rectangle has an area of 36 square units. As the length and width change, what do you know about their
natima [27]

Answer:

the length and the width are inversely proportional to each other (l=\frac{36}{w} or w=\frac{36}{l})

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

l units = length of the rectangle,

w units = width of the rectangle.

The area of the rectangle is

\text{Area}=\text{Length}\cdot \text{Width}

A rectangle has an area of 36 square units, so

l\cdot w=36

Complete the table with some values of l and w that fit the previous formula:

\begin{array}{ccc}\text{Length}&\text{Width}&\text{Area}\\ \\36&1&36\cdot 1=36\ un^2.\\18&2&18\cdot 2=36 \ un^2.\\12&3&12\cdot 3=36\ un^2.\\ 9&4&9\cdot 4=36\ un^2.\\l&w&l\cdot w=36 \ un^2.\end{array}

As you can see, the length and the width are inversely proportional to each other (l=\frac{36}{w} or w=\frac{36}{l})
