I split it into parts. The small rectangle sticking out is 2x3 which is a 6 and the big rectangle 4x8 which is 32. The triangle is 8x2/2 which is 8. 6+32+8 = 46
A.would be 50 cents and im not entirely sure about b but i think its 8
You go down to the negative number x is first and then you go to the positive number which is y
The slope is 2 and the equation of the line is y = mx+b with m =2
Then the equation becomes: y = 2x+b. How to calculate b?
Since this line passes through the point (-3 , 4), we replace x with -3 and y=4
4= 2.(-3) + b
4 = - 6 + b
and b= 10. The final equation is : y = 2x + 10 (answer a)
There are two equation:
1) From Kim
2) From Daniel
Let:
x be the cost of rolls of plain wrapping paper
y be the cost of rolls of shiny wrapping paper
Kim:
7x + 8y = 140
Daniel:
14x + 7y = 154
<u>Using elimination method:</u>
(7x + 8y = 140) * -2 (Multiplying the equation by -2)
-14x - 16y = -280
-14x -16y = -280
14x + 7y = 154
------------------------------
0x - 9y = -126
9y = 126 (Negative sign cancels from both sides)
y = 126 /9
y = 14
The cost of each shiny wrapping paper is $14.
Now solve x, you pick any two equation to solve for x.
7x + 8y = 140
7x + 8(14) = 140 (You know from above y =14)
7x + 112 = 140
7x = 28
x = 28/7
x = 4
The cost of each plain wrapping paper is $4.
Solution: (4,14)
