Question

What goes on the lines I don’t understand the problem

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Let the number of spoons = x

And number of forks = y

Total number of spoons and forks bought by Perry = 10

x + y = 10 --------(1)

Cost of one spoon = $5

Cost of one fork = $3

Therefore, total cost of x spoons and y forks = $(5x + 3y)

5x + 3y = 42 -------(2)

b). Now we can convert these equations into the slope-intercept form.

x + y = 10 ⇒ y = -x + 10

Table for input output values,

x        2         4          6          

y        8         6          4                

5x + 3y = 42

3y = -5x + 42

y = $-\frac{5}{3}x+14$

x        0           3          6        

y       14           9          4                  

Point of intersection of these lines will be (6, 4).
