Complete Question:

If the point (2, 5) is a solution to the system of equations shown below, then determine the missing values of b and m. Show how you arrive at your answer.

1. y = 3x + b

2. y = mx + 9

Answer:

1. Intercept, b = -1

2. Slope, m = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Points on the line (x, y) = (2, 5)

To find the missing values;

Mathematically, the equation of a straight line is given by the formula;

y = mx + b

Where;

  • m is the slope.
  • x and y are the points
  • b is the intercept.

1. y = 3x + b

Substituting the value of x and y, we have;

5 = 3(2) + b

5 = 6 + b

b = 5 - 6

<em>Intercept, b = -1</em>

2. y = mx + 9

Substituting the value of x and y, we have;

5 = m(2) + 9

5 = 2m + 9

2m = 5 - 9

2m = -4

m = -4/2

<em>Slope, m = -2</em>

At Picture Perfect Pizza the price for 2 slices of pizza is $3.00. At Pizza Outpost
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

You will save $2 if you buy from Picture Perfect Pizza instead of Pizza Outpost.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the unit rate of each pizza from each pizza place.

Picture Perfect Pizza: $3÷2 = $1.50

Pizza Outpost: $7÷4 = $1.75

Picture Perfect Pizza: $1.5 * 8 = $12

Pizza Outpost: $1.75*8 = $14

Can somebody please help with these two questions?
Nitella [24]

Answer:

#3: x is approximately 0.37, -5.37, #4: x is approximately 4.19, -1.19

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve using the quadratic equation or by solving with the perfect square

\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a} = x^{2}+5x-2=0\\ \frac{-5+/-\sqrt{5^{2}-4(1)(-2) }}{2(1)}

x is approximately 0.37, -5.37

I need to know how to balance the scales it says ''Make the scales balance by using addition and subtraction to find in the miss
kramer

This would be much, much, much easier if you told us
what numbers you do have on each side of the scale now.

The idea (probably) is that the scale is balanced when
the numbers add up to the same amount on both sides.

So you need to put some numbers in the blanks that will either
add more to the side that has less, or subtract some from the side
that has more, to make both sides equal.
