Answer:
a.
Step-by-step explanation:
Each system has a different purpose. one for the cost, and one for the pounds.
x+y=12 is for the pounds
since each pound of dried fruit cost $6 and each pound of nuts cost $2, and you can only spend $40,
6x+2y=40
(9,13) would be another point that the line passes through.
We can say that because 3 times 9, which would equal 27, could be the same as 4*9, which would be 36. So Pat needs 36 pints of green paint. Down below is a tape diagram so you can see what it is.
Start by writing what is said:
2x + 4 = -6
From there just solve for x:
Subtract 4 from both sides
2x + 4 - 4 = -6 - 4
2x = -10
Divide by 2 to get x by itself
2x/2 = -10/2
x = -5
X=40 because you set all the degrees equal to 360 degrees because its a circle :)
