Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, take away the 8 cookies that were not part of the 3 boxes.

(50 - 8 = 42)

Now we know that 3 boxes of cookies can hold 42 total cookies. However, we need to know how much cookies 1 box can hold. If the 42 cookies are divided evenly between the 3 boxes, our equation would look like this:

42/3 = 14

Therefore, the answer is 14 cookies in each box.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3b+8c=50c

3b=50c-8c

3b=42c

b=14c

So there are 14 cookies in each box.

Answer:

$(400+80x)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are required to find the total income on Friday Night

Ticket costs $5 each and they sold 80 tickets

Total ticket Sales = 80 X $5 =$400

There was a donation of $x per ticket, so for 80 tickets, there was a donation of $80x.

Total Income on Friday Night=Ticket Sale+Donations= $(400+80x)

Find the equation of the line using the point-slope formula. Write the final equation using slope-intercept form. (1,2) with a s

Lilit [14]

Answer:

$y-2=\displaystyle -\frac{3}{4}(x-1)$

$y=\displaystyle -\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{11}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Point-slope form: $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ where m is the slope of the line and $(x_1,y_1)$ is a given point

Given that the slope is -3/4, we can plug it into $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ as m:

$y-y_1=\displaystyle -\frac{3}{4}(x-x_1)$

We can also plug in the given point (1,2):

$y-2=\displaystyle -\frac{3}{4}(x-1)$

Slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

To write the equation in slope-intercept form, isolate y:

$y-2=\displaystyle -\frac{3}{4}(x-1)\\\\y=\displaystyle -\frac{3}{4}(x-1)+2\\\\y=\displaystyle -\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{3}{4}+2\\\\y=\displaystyle -\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{11}{4}$

I hope this helps!
