Answer:
The boys club sold 52 bags of hardwood mulch and 84 bags of pine bark mulch
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the number of bags of hardwood mulch sold
y ----> the number of bags of pine bark mulch sold
we know that
A local boys club sold 136 bags of mulch and made a total of $400
so
----> equation A
----> equation B
Solve the system by graphing
Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs
Using a graphing tool
The solution is the point (52,84)
see the attached figure
therefore
The boys club sold 52 bags of hardwood mulch and 84 bags of pine bark mulch
I believe the answer is 46.
Remember "PEMDAS" when doing equations like these :)
Plug the two points into the slope formula.
m = y2-y1/x2-x1
m = (-4 - 5)/(0 - 2)
m = -9/-2
m = 4.5
So the slope is 4.5
Answer:
The inverse is y = x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The general equation of a straight line is;
y = mx + c
In this case , the y-intercept is -5
So the partial equation is;
y = mx - 5
To get m, we use the x-intercept
The x-intercept coordinate is (5,0)
Insert this in the equation , we have;
0 = 5m-5
5m = 5
m = 5/5
m= 1
The equation of the line is thus;
y = x-5
So we want to find the inverse of this;
Replace x with d
y = d-5
Make d the subject of the formula
d = y + 5
replace d with x
x = y + 5
now replace x with y
So we have
y = x + 5
