Answer:
The expression represents JL is<u> 3x - 2</u>.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
JM = 5x – 8 and LM = 2x – 6.
Now, to find expression represents JL.
JM = JL + LM
<em>Subtracting both sides by LM we get:</em>
JM - LM = JL.
JL = JM - LM
Now, putting the expression to get JL:
Therefore, the expression represents JL is 3x - 2.
The answer is A.) 5x+8y≤120
To get this answer the first thing I did was notice what it says the x and y variables stand for. The "x variable represents the number of breadsticks purchased" and "the y variable represents the number of pizza pies purchased". It also says that each breadstick is $5 and each pizza pie is $8. Accordingly, we need to match our variables with what we're buying. So, the y be with 8 and the x be with 5.
So, our expression will have a 5x and an 8y in it.
Now if we notice, it says he can spend no more than $120, so that means he can spend $120 or less. The less than or equal to sign is ≤.
Now we can find our answer. The only answer with 5x and 8y with a ≤120 is answer choice A
Hope this helped!! :))
Is this the entire question?
