Answer:

$9.75

Step-by-step explanation:

A store is having a sale on walnuts and chocolate chips. For 3 pounds of walnuts and 5 pounds of chocolate chips, the total cost is $16. For 6 pounds of walnuts and 2 pounds of chocolate chips, the total cost is $22

. Find the cost for each pound of walnuts and each pound of chocolate chips.

***

let x=cost/lb of walnuts

let y=cost/lb of chocolate chips

..

3x+5y=16

6x+2y=22

 

..

6x+10y=32 (mult. eq by 2)

6x+2y=22

subtract:

8y=10

y=10/8=1.25

x=16-5y=9.75

cost/lb of walnuts=$1.25

cost/lb of chocolate chips=$9.75

Find the slope of a line whose equation is 3X+6Y=9
Lisa [10]

To find the slope of the above equation, it is easiest to put it into slope-intercept form, y=mx + b, where the variable m represents the slope. To do this, we must isolate the variable y on the left side of the equation by using the reverse order of operations. First, we should subtract 3x from both sides of the equation.

3x + 6y = 9

6y = -3x + 9

Next, we should divide both sides of the equation by 6 to undo the coefficent of 6 on the variable y.

y = -1/2x + 3/2

Therefore, the slope of the line is -1/2 (the coefficient of the variable x in slope-intercept form).

Hope this helps!
