The supermarket sells juice in 16- and 32-ounce bottles. If Warren wants to bring home 144 ounces of juice in 7 separate bottles
, which system of equations should he solve to determine how many 16- and 32-ounce bottles to buy? (Let x represent the number of 16-ounce bottles and y represent the number of 32-ounce bottles.) A. 32x+16y=144 x+y=7
B. 16x+32y=144 x+y=7
C. 32x+16y=144 x+y=144
D. 16x+32y=7 x+y=32
We can use the formula y2-y1/x2-x1 to find our answer. So, we have : t-16/5-2 = -3. We simplify that to t-16/3 = -3. We can then multiply both sides by 3 to get t-16 = -9. Then we can add 16 to both sides to get t = 7.
