Answer:
<h3>a)a+c=150,10.25a+7.75c=1470</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>to understand this</h3><h3>you need to know about:</h3>
- system of linear equation
<h3>let's solve:</h3>
according to the first condition
according to the second condition
A general equation to use for this situation is y = mx + b.
For this question, we can assume that y is total cost, m is cost per balloon, x is the amount of balloons, and b as the service fee; so we can set the equation up:
y = (4.50)x + 12
And we can further plug in the total cost to find the number of balloons purchased for the party:
79.50 = (4.50)x + 12
Now we can solve for x (number of balloons):
67.50 = (4.50)x
x = 15
The total number of balloons purchased for the party is 15.
1/2 (6x - 10) + 10 = 5x - 13
(6x/2) - (10/2) + 10 = 5x - 13
3x - 5 + 10 = 5x - 13
3x - 5x = -13 + 5 - 10
-2x = -18
x = -18 / -2
x = 9
D.) x = 9
The graph starts flat but then curves steeply upwards. You can tell this by the sudden jumps in y-coordinates, illustrating that it keeps going further up faster and faster as the x-coordinates progress steadily.
