Farmer Phil needs to treat a field with potash and nitrogen. He knows he needs 308 pounds of potash and 330 pounds of nitrogen.

He can use Grow Rite brand and Great Green Brand. Grow Rite has 4 pounds of potash and 5 pounds of nitrogen per bag. Great Green has 7 pounds of potash and 6 pounds of nitrogen per bag.

Answer:

The number of bags of Grow Rite brand = x = 42 bags

The number of bags of Great Green brand = y = 20 bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of bags of Grow Rite brand = x

The number of bags of Great Green brand = y

The equation is given as:

4x + 7y = 308....... Equation 1

5x + 6y = 330....... Equation 2

Using Elimination method.

Multiply Equation 2 by the coefficient of x in Equation 1 and Multiply Equation 1 by the coefficient of x in Equation 2

4x + 7y = 308....... Equation 1 × 5

5x + 6y = 330....... Equation 2 × 4

20x + 35y = 1540..... Equation 3

20x + 24y = 1320....... Equation 4

Subtract Equation 3 from Equation 4

11y = 220

y = 220/11

y = 20 bags

4x + 7y = 308....... Equation 1

4x + 7(20) = 308

4x + 140 = 308

4x = 308 - 140

4x = 168

x = 168/4

x = 42 bags

The number of bags of Grow Rite brand = x = 42 bags

The number of bags of Great Green brand = y = 20 bags.

What is the value of b<br> 2b + 8 − 5b + 3 = −13 + 8b − 5
Yuri [45]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

2b + 8 − 5b + 3 = −13 + 8b − 5

Reorder like terms.

2b-5b+8+3=8b-13-5

Combine those like terms. Then solve.

-3b+11=8b-18

      -11       -11

-3b=8b-29

-8b -8b

-11b=-29

/-11    /-11

b=2.64

The table represents a linear equation.which equation shows how (-10,8) can be used to write the equation of this line is point-
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

\large\boxed{y-8=-0.2(x+10)}

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of an equation of a line:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

m - slope

(x₁, y₁) - point

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

From the table we have the points (-10, 8) and (10, 4). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{4-8}{10-(-10)}=\dfrac{-4}{20}=-\dfrac{1}{5}=-0.2

The equation of a line:

y-8=-0.2(x-(-10))\\\\y-8=-0.2(x+10)

Find the equation of the line passing through the given points. Express the equation in standard form.
Artyom0805 [142]

We want to write the equation of the line passing through these two points in standard form.

First, we are going to do this in slope intercept form and then change the form to standard form, which is Ax + By = C

We will use the equation y = mx + b, and since we are given two points on the line we are going to determine the slope of the line by determining the  change in the y coordinates

m = y sub2  - y sub1 divided by the change in the X coordinates  x sub2 – x sub1              

We will start by determining the slope

(1, -6) the 1 is x sub 1  and the 6 is y sub 1

(-7, 2) the -7 is x sub 2 and the 2 is y sub 2

2 - (-6) = 8

-7 -1 = -8

so equation now is m = -1

So now again referring back to the slope intercept of the line we now know y = -1 + b.  We still have to determine b and the y intercept, and we can do this by using one of the given points and substituting in the value for y and x, and then solve for b.  Since these points are on the line, they must satisfy this equation.  If we use the first coordinates, we would substitute 1 for x and -6 for y.  

-6 =  -1 times x, which is 1 + b

b = -5

construct the line equation y = mx + b where m = -1 & b = -5

In slope intercept form the equation would be y = -x - 5

Now we want to write this in standard form now.  We have to deal with two things.  The x and y terms have to be on the left side and A and B and C have to be integers.  

The standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By=CA x + By = C .   Move all terms containing variables to the left side of the equation.

Add x to both sides of the equation.

y + x = -5

Reorder y & x

x + y = -5
