Answer:
The price of pretzels in 1975 = $1.80
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this question we are assuming the steady rate means linear.Let x be the year and y be the price.
We need to find the slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (4.80-4.05)/(2015-2005)
=.75/10
= .075
The slope is .075
We can use the point slope form of the equation
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y-4.80 = .075(x-2015)
Distribute
y - 4.80 = .075x -151.125
Add 4.80 to each side
y - 4.80+4.80 = .075x -151.125+4.80
y = .075 x - 146.325
We want to find out how much pretzels were in 1975. Put in x=1975
y = .075(1975) -146.325
y = 148.125-146.325
y=1.80
Factor the equation. Remember the value should add to the b value and multiply to the c value.
x^2-x-12= 0
(x-4)(x+3)=0
Use the zero product property to find roots
x-4=0
x=4
x+3=0
x=-3
Final answer: x=-3, x=4
Answer:
a. (15, 15)
Step-by-step explanation:
We start with those two equations:
1) a - 1.2b = -3
2) 0.2b + 0.6a = 12
We'll begin by modifying equation #1 to isolate a:
a = -3 + 1.2b
Then we'll use this value for a in the second equation:
0.2b + 0.6 (-3 + 1.2b) = 12
0.2b - 1.8 + 0.72b = 12
0.92b = 13.8
b = 15
Then we'll place that value of b in the first equation to find a:
a - 1.2 (15) = -3
a - 18 = -3
a = 15
Add or subtract numbers from both sides
