Question

A landscaper has a total of $800 to spend on bushes at $20 each and trees at $50 each

Answer 1

Answer:

x=40 y=16

Step-by-step explanation:

20x+50y=800 you can turn it into slope-intercept form and it would end up being y=-2/3x+16 so now you have your y intercept (16) and you know your rise and run -2(rise)3(run).

Or you can substitute a zero for x and solve for y

20(0)+50y=800 which equals 50y=800 which equals 16 y=16

then you substitute a zero for y and solve for x

20x+50(0)=800 which equals 20x=800 which equals 40 x=40
