Answer:
The linear function with the smallest slope must be multiple of one of the other two linear functions if all functions are coplanar. Otherwise, they intersect at the given point in space.
Step-by-step explanation:
A system of two linear functions with two variables have an unique solution on a given plane, as there are three linear function, it means that linear function with the smallest slope must be multiple of one of the other two linear functions.
But, if those functions are not all coplanar and have 3 variables, they intersect at the given point.
$2.50 was left for each person.
4(9.50) + x = 48
38 + x = 48
subtract 38 on both sides
x = 10
10$ was left in total by all 4 people
10/4 = 2.50
$2.50 was left over for each person
18 feet = 18/3 yard = 6 yard
6 inches = 1/2 feet = 1/6 yard
Volumen = (6yar)(6yard)(1/6yard) = 6 cubic yard
Cost = 6 cubic yard * $42.00 / cubic yard = $ 252.00
Answer: the first option, 252.00
