The networking organization you joined is throwing a party. You are in charge of buying the chips, which cost $2.50 per bag and

salsa, which costs $4 per jar. The chips & salsa budget you are given totals $60. The inequality 2.5x + 4y less than or equal to 60 represents the possible combinations of chips (x) and salsa (y ) you can buy.

Answer:

Number of salsa jars you can buy is 8 jars

The number of bags of chips you can buy is 28 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

The question above is incomplete.

In other to complete it, we would have to make some assumptions.

You are in charge of buying the chips, which cost $2.50 per bag and salsa, which costs $4 per jar. The chips & salsa budget you are given totals $60. The inequality 2.5x + 4y less than or equal to 60 represents the possible combinations of chips (x) and salsa (y ) you can buy.

Hence, we solve for x and y

The inequality is given:

2.5x + 4y ≤ 60

2.5x + 4y = 60........ Equation 1

Let us assume that the total number of bags of chips - jar of salsa you can buy is equal to 20.

Hence:

x - y = 20...... Equation 2

x = 20 + y

Substitute 20 + y for x in Equation 1

2.5x + 4y = 60........ Equation 1

2.5(20 + y) + 4y = 60

50 + 2.5y + 4y = 60

Collect like terms

2.5y + 4y = 60 -50

6.5y = 50

y = 50/6.5

y = 7.6923076923

Approximately to the nearest whole number

Number of salsa jars you can buy is 8

From here, we can solve for x based on this assumptions

x - y = 20

x - 8 = 20

x = 20 + 8

x = 28

The number of bags of chips you can buy is 28 bags

A line that passes through the point (–1, 3) has a slope of 2. Find another point on the line.
sineoko [7]
Easy, find the equation of the line,

Using y=mx+b form:

(-1,3) m=2

3= 2(-1)+b

3= -2+b
+2     +2

5=b

y=2x+5. This is your equation.

Now, plug in the coordinates:

(-3,2)

2= 2(-3)+5
2= -6+5
2= -1

NO

(0,5)

5= 2(0)+5
5=5

YES

(1,5)

5= 2(1)+5
5= 2+5
5=7

NO

(1,4)

4= 2(1)+5
4= 2+5
4=7

NO.

Thus, B, is your answer.
