Answer:

He can buy 160 crates of apples and 40 crates of pears. (160, 40).

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, you can write the following equations:

25x+25y=5000 (1)

6x+5.50y=1180 (2), where:

x is the number of crates of apples

y is the number of crates of pears

First, you can solve for x in (1):

25x=5000-25y

x=(5000/25)-(25y/25)

x=200-y (3)

Then, you can replace (3) in (2) and solve for y:

6(200-y)+5.50y=1180

1200-6y+5.50y=1180

1200-1180=6y-5.50y

20=0.5y

y=20/0.5

y=40

Finally, you can replace the value of y in (3) to find the value of x:

x=200-y

x=200-40

x=160

According to this, the answer is that he can buy 160 crates of apples and 40 crates of pears. (160, 40).

HELP!! What is the equation of the graphed line?<br> (y=mx+b)
Anettt [7]
So to fine slope you would use the formula down below:

rise/run

So use a graphed point, 0, -5 and you rise or count up quadrants up to a point and then horizontally move to when you find that point.

So from 0,-5 go up 9 vertically, and you would be on the 4

Go horizontal 3 spots and your on a designated point.

So the rise is four and the run is 3

So 4/3 is the slope

In the y= Mx + b equation you would set the equation like this:

y= 4/3 + -5

The m in this formula stands for the slop and the b stands for the y-intercept

The y-intercept is the point that is on the y-axis and where it starts.

What’s the radius of a circle with an area of 123 square feet
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

6.25716517287

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of circle = π × r²

→ 123 = π × r²

⇒ Divide both sides by π

→ 39.1521160006 = r²

⇒ Square root both sides

→ 6.25716517287 = r

Which input value produces the same output value for the two functions on the graph?
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The input value is 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The input value that produces the same output value for the two linear functions, is the intersection point both graphs

we have

f(x)=-3x+1 ---> equation A

g(x)=x-2 ---> equation B

Equate equation A and equation B

x-2=-3x+1

solve for x

3x+x=1+2

4x=3

x=\frac{3}{4}

therefore

The input value is 3/4
