Answer:

Price of each turkey sandwich = $6.5

price of each ham sandwich = $5.5

2a + 5b = 40.50.........(i)

4a + b = 31.50..............(ii)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

price of each turkey sandwich = a

price of each ham sandwich = b

Stefan purchase

2a + 5b = 40.50.........(i)

Nancy purchase

4a + b = 31.50..............(ii)

combine the equations

2a + 5b = 40.50.........(i)

4a + b = 31.50..............(ii)

b = 31.50 - 4a

insert the value of b in equation(i)

2a + 5b = 40.50.........(i)

2a + 5(31.50 - 4a) = 40.50

2a + 157.5 - 20a = 40.50

-18a = 40.50 - 157.5

-18a = -117

divide both sides by -18

a = -117/-18

a = 6.5

insert the value of a in equation(ii)

4a + b = 31.50..............(ii)

4(6.5) + b = 31.50

26 + b = 31.50

b = 31.50 - 26

b = 5.5

Price of turkey sandwich = $6.5

price of ham sandwich = $5.5

25 PTSS EAY PLZZ ANYONE KNOW THIS I WILL GIVE 5 RATED STAR THANKS AND PROMISE BRAINLIEST ASAPExplain how to write a function rul
Furkat [3]

Answer:

y = -1/2x +2

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear and quadratic function rules we usually study in algebra come in several forms.

For linear function rules (equations of a line), there are more than half a dozen different forms, each with its own use. A few that often come in handy are the 2-point form, the slope-intercept form, the point-slope form, and the intercept form. Here, the 2-point form can be useful, since you have several points on the line to choose from.

The 2-point form of the equation of a line is ...

y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)·(x -x1) + y1

point (x1, y1) and point (x2, y2) can be any pair of the given points, in any order. Let's use the first two for points 1 and 2.

y = (0 -1)/(4 -2)·(x -2) +1

y = -1/2(x -2) +1 . . . . . . . . this is a suitable function rule. In this simplified form, it is in point-slope form, where -1/2 is the slope and (2, 1) is the point.

If you want to simplify this a bit, you can put it into slope-intercept form by eliminating the parentheses and combining the constant terms:

y = -1/2x +2
