Answer:

x = 9

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Let :

Kenyan French roast coffee = x

Cost per x = $8

Sumatran Coffee = y

Cost per y = $10

x + y = 18 - - - - (1)

8x + 10y = 9 * 18 ;

8x + 10y = 162 - - - - (2)

From (1):

x = 18 - y

Put x = 18 - y in (2)

8(18 - y) + 10y = 162

144 - 8y + 10y = 162

2y = 162 - 144

2y = 18

y = 9

x = 18 - y

x = 18 - 9

x = 9

Formulate the situation as a system of inequalities. (Let x represent the number of goats the farmer can raise and y represent t
Firdavs [7]

Answer: He can raise up to 40 goats and 100 llamas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write system of equations with the information given:

The space each goat needs (4) multiplied by the number of goats (x); plus The space each llama needs (10) multiplied by the number of llamas must be less or equal to the acre land available (800)

4x +10y ≤ 800 (acres)

The amount of veterinary care (in $) each  goat needs (110) multiplied by the number of goats (x); plus The  amount of veterinary care   each llama needs (88) multiplied by the number of llamas (y)must be less or equal to the Rancher's budget.(14520)

110x +88y ≤ 14,520 (cost)

Multiplying the first equation by 27.5, and subtracting the second equation to the first one:

110x + 275y ≤22,000

-

110x +88y ≤ 14,520

____________

187y ≤ 7480

y ≤ 7480/187

y ≤ 40

Replacing y in the first equation

4x +10(40) ≤ 800

4x +400 ≤ 800

4x ≤ 800-400

4x ≤ 400

x ≤ 400/4

x ≤ 100

what is the equation of the line described below written in slope-intercept form? the line passing through point (2,2) and perpe
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The equation of line passing through point (2 , 2) and perpendicular to line y = x is  y = - x + 4   .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The line equation is y = x

Now, equation of line in slope-intercept form y = m x + c

where m is the slope of line and c is y-intercept

Comparing given line equation with standard line equation

The slope of line y = x is m = 1

Again

Other line is passing through point (2 ,2) and is perpendicular to line y = x

Let The slope of other line = M

∵ From perpendicular lines property

Product of slope of lines = - 1

i.e m × M = - 1

Or , M = \dfrac{ - 1}{m}

Or, M = \dfrac{ - 1}{1}

∴  M = - 1

<u>Now, Equation of other line in point-slope form</u>

The other line is passing through point (2 , 2) and slope M = - 1

So, y - y_1 = M × (x - x_1)

Or, y - 2 = - 1 × ( x - 2 )

Or, y - 2 = - x + 2

Or, y = - x + 2 + 2

Or, y = - x + 4

Hence, The equation of line passing through point (2 , 2) and perpendicular to line y = x is  y = - x + 4   . Answer
