The answer to this question is -2
The answer is 8 and 13
<span>
y = ax + b
y = 4, x = 1 </span>⇒ 4 = a + b
y = 6, x = 3 ⇒ 6 = 3a + b
Solve the system of equation:
a + b = 4
3a + b = 6
______
b = 4 - a
3a + b = 6
______
3a + 4 - a = 6
2a + 4 = 6
2a = 6 - 4
2a = 2
a = 2/2 = 1
b = 4 - a = 4 - 1 = 3
So, the function rule is: y = x + 3
Thus, if x = 7, then y = 7 + 3 = 10
If x = 10, then y = 10 + 3 = 13
x y
1 4
3 6

5 8
7 10
10 13
Set up your two equations:
<span>9x+7y=53 </span>
<span>3x+5y=25 </span>
<span>X=cost per pound of jelly bean </span>
<span>Y=cost per pound of trail mix </span>
<span>Multiply the second equation by (-3): </span>
<span>-9x-15y=-75 </span>
<span>+ 9x+7y=53 <---- copy first equation and add them </span>
<span>—————— </span>
<span>0x-8y=-22 </span>
<span>Then solve for y: </span>
<span>Y=2.76 this is your cost per pound of trail mix. </span>
<span>Then plug y back in to one of the original equations and solve for x: </span>
<span>3x+7(2.75)=25 </span>
<span>X=3.75 this is you cost per pound of jelly beans</span>
Should be C a home inventory so they can see what was taken or destroyed
hope i helped!
