Answer:

She can get 10 pounds of steak and 10 pounds of chicken.

Step-by-step explanation:

As Jacie wants to have at least 20 pounds of meat, you can write the following  equation:

x+y=20, where

x refers to the pounds of steak

y refers to the pounds of chicken

Also, since the statement indicate that the steak is $8 per pound and chicken is $4 per pound and Jacie wants to spend at most 120 dollars on meat, you can write the following equation:

8x+4y=120

So, you have the following equations:

x+y=20 (1)

8x+4y=120 (2)

Now, you can solve for x in (1):

x=20-y (3)

Then, you can replace (3) in (2) and solve for y:

8(20-y)+4y=120

160-8y+4y=120

160-120=8y-4y

40=4y

y=40/4

y=10

Finally, you can relace the value of y in (3) to find x:

x=20-y

x=20-10

x=10

According to this, the answer is that she can get 10 pounds of steak and 10 pounds of chicken.

Quadrilateral ABCD with vertices A(-9, 2), B(-8, 8), C(-4, 6), and D(-2, 2) is shown. You want to reflect quadrilateral ABCD in
telo118 [61]

Answer:

See explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph the quadrilateral. By inspection, you can tell where the midpoint is. (see attachment 1)

Now, I'll draw a line through it. (see attachment 2)

To reflect across a line, think about the points traveling across the line the same number of spaces the point is from the line. For example, point A is three away from the line. So, A' will be 3 away from the other side. The coordinates will be at (-3,2). (see attachment 3).

Do the same for the other points, and you'll have your image.
