Answer:

Y= -5x+16

The constant before the x is the slope, and you can just plug in the x and the y. 6=-5(2)+16 6=6 all the other ones are incorrect if you plug them in

Answer:

y=-5x+16

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in the slope and point coordinates into point-slope form (attached in image)

(y-6)=-5(x-2)

1) Distribute -5 to x and -2:

y-6=-5x+10

2) Add 6 to both sides:

y=-5x+16

please solve all of them Elaine bought a total of 15 shirts and pairs of pants She bought 7 more shirts then pants how many of e

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer

Question 1

4 pants

11 shirts

Question 2

Shady has 30 video games.

Preston has 19 video games.

Question 3

1 muffin costs $1.5

1 quart of milk costs $3

Explanation

Question 1

Let the number of shirts be s

Let the number of pants be p

She bought a total of 15 shirts and shirts

s + p = 15

She bought 7 more shirts than pants.

s = 7 + p

So, we can solve the simultaneous equation.

s + p = 15

s = 7 + p

Substitute for s in equation 1

s + p = 15

7 + p + p = 15

7 + 2p = 15

2p = 15 - 7

2p = 8

Divide both sides by 2

(2p/2) = (8/2)

p = 4 pants

s = 7 + p = 7 + 4 = 11 shirts

Question 2

Let the number of games Shady has be s

Let the number of games Preston has be p

Together, they have a total of 49 video games

s + p = 49

Shady has 11 more games than Preston.

s = 11 + p

So, we can solve the simultaneous equation.

s + p = 49

s = 11 + p

Substitute for s in equation 1

s + p = 49

11 + p + p = 49

11 + 2p = 49

2p = 49 - 11

2p = 38

Divide both sides by 2

(2p/2) = (38/2)

p = 19 video games

s = 11 + p = 11 + 19 = 30 video games

Question 3

Let the cost of a muffin be m

Let the cost of a quart of milk be q

The cost of 8 muffins and 2 quarts of milk is $18.

8m + 2q = 18

The cost of 3 muffins and 1 quart of milk is $7.50

3m + q = 7.5

So, we can solve the simultaneous equation

8m + 2q = 18

3m + q = 7.5

Solving this,

m = 1.5 dollars

q = 3 dollars

Hope this Helps!!!

Mandy is selling pancakes and waffles at her diner. On Monday she sold a total of 300 pancakes and waffles. If she charges $3 pe

elena-s [515]

Answer:

Mandy sold 250 pancakes and 50 waffles.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, you can say that the sum of pancakes and waffles is equal to 300:

x+y=300

Also, the statement indicates that she charges $3 per pancake, $1 per waffle, and made a total of $800 and you can express this as:

3x+y=800

You have the following equations:

x+y=300 (1)

3x+y=800 (2), where:

x is the number of pancakes she sold

y is the number of waffles she sold

Now, you can solve for x in (1):

x=300-y (3)

Then, you can replace (3) in (2):

3(300-y)+y=800

900-3y+y=800

900-800=2y

100=2y

y=100/2

y=50

Finally, you can replace the value of y in (3) to find x:

x=300-50

x=250

According to this, the answer is that Mandy sold 250 pancakes and 50 waffles.
