<span>We will use s for the cost of a small candle and m for the cost of a medium candle.
(a)
The candles and price for Jin can be written as:
3s+1m=$3.85
The candles and price for Trish can be written as:
4s+5m=$10.45
The system of equations that we have is:
</span>3s+1m=$3.85
4s+5m=$10.45
(b)
We will use substitution to solve this problem.
From the first equation we can find out m:
3s+1m=$3.85
1m=$3.85-3s
Now we insert this into second equation and we solve it for s:
4s+5($3.85-3s)=$10.45
4s+$19.25-15s=$10.45
-11s=-8.8
s=$0.8
Now we can find m:
m=$3.85-3*$0.8
m=$3.85-$2.4
m=$1.45
(c)
The candles and price for Jin can be written as:
2s+1m=price
We can insert values for s and m:
2*$0.8+$1.45=price
price=$1.6+$1.45
price=$3.05
Answer:
41,755.72
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the equation of a line using two given set of points, you must first find slope. To do so, we must use the slope formula:
y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
In this case:
1 - 9 / -1 - 3 = -8 / -4
- 8 / -4 = 2 (simplified)
Now we can use the point-slope formula:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 1 = 2(x + 1 )
y - 1 = 2x + 2
y = 2x + 3
In order to make 3x - y = 6 in slope intercept form, we must isolate y.
- y = -3x + 6
Note: y cannot be negative, so we'll multiply both sides by -1
( -1 ) - y = - 3x + 6 ( -1 ) = y = 3x -6
All you have to do is 8 x 4 answerx7
