k is 400 square feet per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we know that a 10-pounds bag of grass seed covers an area of about 4000 square feet.

We can write the relationship between pounds of grass seed (p) and area (a) as

a=kp

where k is the constant of proportionality between the two variables.

We can find the value of k simply by re-arranging the equation and substituting the values of a and p.

Re-arranging the equation,

k=\frac{a}{p}

And substituting the values of a and p,

k=\frac{4000}{10}=400 ft^2/p

Which means k is equal to 400 square feet per pound.

A. The solution is (−2,−3)
Cerrena [4.2K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  D.  (-3, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations have different coefficients for x and y, so will have one solution. The solutions offered are easily tested in either equation.

Using (x, y) = (-2, -3):

  x = y -1  ⇒  -2 = -3 -1 . . . . False

Using (x, y) = (-3, -2):

  x = y -1  ⇒  -3 = -2 -1 . . . .True

  2x = 3y  ⇒  2(-3) = 3(-2) . . . . True

The solution is (-3, -2).

__

If you'd like to solve the set of equations, substitution for x works nicely.

  2(y -1) = 3y

  2y -2 = 3y . . eliminate parentheses

  -2 = y . . . . . . subtract 2y

  x = -2 -1 = -3

The solution is (x, y) = (-3, -2).

Anthony has a combination of 104 nickels and quarters totaling $22. Which system of linear equations can be used to find the num
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The answer is c and we'll use c to get the actual answers.

A) n + q = 104

B) .05n + .25q = 22 we'll multiply B) by -4

B) -.2n -1q = -88 then we add A)

A) n + q = 104 which equals

.8n = 16

n = 20 nickels

q = 84 quarters

20 nickels = $1

84 quarters = $21

Successful!!!
