x = number of packages he bought
y = number of popsicles in each package
Here are the two equations:
xy = 54
x = 3 + y
Using the substitution method, you can solve them to find x and y.
(3 + y)y = 54,
3y + y^2 = 54
y^2 + 3y - 54 = 0
Solve the quadriatic equation:
(y +9)(y - 6) = 0
y = -9, 6.
Plug y into: xy = 54
x(-9) = 54, x = -6.
x(6) = 54, x = 9.
So he bought 9 packages of popsicles, bc you can't bye -6 packages.
Is there a specific question?
Pemdas is usually the general order to solving exponential equations.
(P) Parenthesis, as in simplify what is inside a parenthesis first.
(E) Exponents
(M) Multiplication
(D) Division
(A) Addition
(S) Subtraction, Subtraction would occur last.

Answer:
a) y =2/3 x + 7.
b) x = -1
c) y = -4/5 x - 1/5
d) y = -3/2 x + 5/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Intercept form y = mx + b where m = 2/3 and b = 7
b) y can take any value but x is always -1.
c) Slope m = (-1-3)/ (1 - -4)
= -4/5
Using point-slope form where m = -4/5 and x1 y1 = 1 , -1:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - -1 = -4/5(x - 1)
y + 1 = -4/5x + 4/5
y = -4/5 x - 1/5
d) The slope m of the line perpendicular to this line is:
-1 / 2/3
m = -3/2.
When x = -1 , y = 4 so using the slope intercept form of a line
y = mx + b
4 = -3/2 * -1 + b where b = the y-intercept.
4 = 3/2 + b
b = 4 - 3/2 = 5/2.
The equation is y = -3/2 x + 5/2.
