Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope form of an equation of a line:
m - slope
We ahve the slope m = 1/2 and the point (-2, 1). Substitute:
- point-slope form
Covert to the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):
<em>use the distributive property</em>
<em>add 1 to both sides</em>
- slope-intercept form
Convert to the standard form (Ax + By = C):
<em>multiply both sides by 2</em>
<em>subtract x from both sides</em>
<em>change the signs</em>
- standard form
Convert to the general form (Ax+By+C=0):
<em>add 4 to both sides</em>
- general form
The indicated variable for a+3/b=c is a+3/b - c=0. That is the answer i am pretty sure.
X=number of books that cost 0.60
y=number of books that cost 0.75
x+y=16
0.6x+0.75y=10.95
solve
multiply second equation by 10 for nicity
6x+7.5y=109.5
multiply first equesiotn by -6 and add to second
-6x-6y=-96
<u>6x+7.5y=109.5 +</u>
0x+1.5y=13.5
1.5y=13.5
divide both sides by 1.5
y=9
sub back
x+y=16
x+9=16
minus 6
x=7
seven 0.60 books and nine 0.75 books
Answer:
x=18.0
