Answer:
y = -4.
Step-by-step explanation:
The line with equation y = 4 is a horizontal line on the coordinate plane which passes through the y-axis at y = the point (0, 4).
The other line parallel to this must also be horizontal and , as it passes through the point (1 , -4), must also pass through the y-axis at ( 0, -4). The equation of this line is y = -4.
If x=16-4y then in your other equation 3x+4y=8 you can put that where x is to get:
3(16-4y)+4y=8
Then multiply brackets to get:
48-12y+4y=8
Simplify:
48-8y=8
Rearrange:
40=8y
Divide through by 8:
y=5
Then put y=5 back into x=16-4y to get x:
x=16-4(5)
x=16-20
x=-4
The answer is 8lbs per can
240 divided by 30 is 8
The first step is to define the system of equations.
Take x and y as the cost of a small box and a large box respectively.
Solve the system.
A small box costs $4 and a large box costs $4 too.
