Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55
We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55
We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
2y-20y=13.50-70.2
-18y=-56.7
y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
x+5*3.15=17.55
x+15.75=17.55
x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
Problem 4.
Let w = number of wood bats sold
Let m = number of metal bats sold
From sales information we have: w + m = 23
24w+30m=606
Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second.
24*(23-m)+30m=606
552-24m+30m=606
6m=54
m=9 = number of metal bats sold
Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.

Answer:
3 gulps
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, f(x) = 3. Plug this into the equation:
3 = -3x + 12
Solve for x:
3 - 12 = -3x + 12 - 12
-9 = -3x
-9 / -3 = -3x / -3
3 = x

Answer:
-9/4
Step-by-step explanation:
A perpendicular slope is on that is the negative reciprocal. current slope=4/9 and the negative recipocal is -9/4.
