Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55
We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55
We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
2y-20y=13.50-70.2
-18y=-56.7
y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
x+5*3.15=17.55
x+15.75=17.55
x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
Problem 4.
Let w = number of wood bats sold
Let m = number of metal bats sold
From sales information we have: w + m = 23
24w+30m=606
Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second.
24*(23-m)+30m=606
552-24m+30m=606
6m=54
m=9 = number of metal bats sold
Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.
Answer:
x<-8
Step-by-step explanation:
four more than twice a number = 4+2X
is less than negative twelve = <-12
4+2X<-12
(4-4)+2X< -12-4
2x<-16
X<-8
Answer:
undefined
Step-by-step explanation:
so you can just pick 2 points. use -3,0, and 2,0. so to get from -3 to 2(becusse slope is change of y over change of x) you add 5. to get from 0 to 0, you would add zero. so, 5/0=undefined. I'm not quite sure why thered 3,4. in that case it may just not be a function
