Answer:

tall candles = 39

Short candles = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

let tall candles be x

and short candles be y

No. Of candles sold = x + y =91

Money made from candles will be equal to = 8x + 5y = $572

These both are simultaneous linear equations.

x + y =91 ( multiply by 5)

5x + 5y = 455

8x + 5y = $572

Subtract them:

-3x = -117

x = -117/3

x = 39

put value of x in

x + y = 91

39 + y = 91

y = 91 - 39

y = 52

x shows tall candles so they are 39

y shows short candles so they are 52

What is the equation in point-slope form of the line passing through (0, 6) and (1, 3)?
NeX [460]

Answer:

3 - 6 = -3(1 - 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation of point-slope from two points, first you need the slope.

To find slope, find the change in y over the change in x.

  • (0,6) y = 6 and x = 0
  • (1,3) y = 3 and x = 1

The change in y over change is x means (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

change in y: -3

change in x: 1

slope = -3/1 or -3

Now that we have slope we can start the point-slope equation.

Point-slope equation: y2 - y1 = m(x2 -x1)

[<em>m</em><em> </em>means slope]

Finally, the point slope equation for these points is: 3 - 6 = -3(1 - 0)

koban [17]

Answer:

  • 300 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

  • y- the amount of charge,
  • x - the number of miles

The equations as per question are below

<u>Crazy Curly's</u>

  • y = 0.3x + 20

<u>Bill's Beauties</u>

  • y = 0.2x + 50

Solve the system by substitution

  • 0.3x + 20 = 0.2x + 50
  • 0.3x - 0.2x = 50 - 20
  • 0.1x = 30
  • x = 30/0.1
  • x = 300
