If p is the price of a bag of popcorn and d is the price of a drink
2p + 3d = 18.25 Mohamed’s order
4p + 2d = 27.50 Miguel’s order
If we double the first equation
4p + 6d = 36.50
Now subtract the second equation (find the difference between them)
4d = 9.00
d = 2.25
Substitute in the first equation
2p + 3 x 2.25 = 18.25
2p = 18.25 - 6.75 = 11.50
p = 11.50 / 2 = 5.75

Popcorn was $5.75 a bag and drinks were $2.25 each

Please help! 25 points!<br> Write the equation of a line with slope 3/2 and Y-Intercept -2.
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Hello there!

For this question, we can use slope-intercept form of a line. The following equation is the format for slope-intercept form:
y=mx+b

In this equation, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope and y-intercept is given. Thus, we just "plug in" the given values into the equation to get our answer. Replace "m" with "3/2" and replace "b" with "-2". After doing so, you get the following equation for the line.

y= \frac{3}{2} x-2

That should be your answer. Hope this helps! :)
