Answer:
$ 3750 = truck rental; $125 per ton of sugar transported
C is cost; S is number of tons transported
Equation relating C to S would be a linear equation like y = mx + b
C = 125S + $3750
This equation would be graphed in the first quadrant only
you would start with your y-intercept at (0, 3750)
As x increases by 1, your y increases by 125 yielding these points:
(1, 3875) (2, 4000) (3, 4125) etc.
This shows that for each increase by one ton of sugar, the cost goes up $125
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>3x + y= 17 (a)
4x + 2 y = 20 (b)
Multiply (a) by 2:
6x + 2y = 34 (a)
4x + 2y = 20 (b)
make: (a) - (b)
2x = 14 -----> x =7
-------------------------------
Replace the value of x = 7 in one of anterior equation:
</span>3x + y= 17
3 x 7 + y = 17
21 + y = 17
y = 17 - 21
y = -4
