<span>1/2x+3y/4=5 => (1/2)x + (3/4)y = 5
1/5x+3y/2=2 => (1/5)x + (3/2)y = 2
Eliminate the fractional coefficients: Mult. the first equation by 4 and mult. the second equation by 10:
2x + 15y = 20
</span><span>Multiply the 1st equation by -1:
-</span>2x - 3y = -20
2x + 15y = 20
-------------------
12y = 0, so y = 0. Then the first equation becomes 2x + 3(0) = 20, or
x=10.
Solution is (10,0).
(128 oz) * (2 oranges)/(5 oz) * (1 bag)/(11.5 oranges) * $3.49/bag ≈ $15.54
Note that we have assumed 11.5 oranges per bag, and that partial bags are available.
If Chantal must buy whole bags of oranges, 5 bags will be needed and the cost will be $17.45.
B because both lines a and b are parallel which makes 1 and 9 congruent
Answer:
y - 4 = 3(x - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
It looks like you have slope 3 and a point (1, 4)
so it should be y - 4 = 3(x - 1)
which is your first choice: y minus 4 = 3 (x minus 1)
