Answer: \$1.75\ \text{per pound}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The recipe calls for 2 Pounds of ground pork and 3.5 pounds of ground beef

Suppose x is the cost of ground pork

So, the cost of ground beef is 2x-0.2

The total cost of meat is \$15.05

The total cost can also be written as

\Rightarrow 2\times x+3.5\times (2x-0.2)=15.05\\\Rightarrow 2x+7x-0.7=15.05\\\Rightarrow 9x=15.75\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{15.75}{9}=\$1.75\ \text{per pound}

So, the cost of ground pork is \$1.75\ \text{per pound}

A beekeeper pours honey into jars. Each large jar holds 18 ounces of honey. Each small jar holds 12 ounces of honey. The beekeep
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer: 1100 ounces because 20 × 30 + 10 × 50 = 1100

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of honey contained in each large jar = 18 ounces

Number of large jar filled = 32

Total amount of honey in large jars:

= 18 ounces × 32

= 576 ounces

Amount of honey contained in each small jar = 12 ounces

Number of small jars filled = 46

Total amount of honey in small jars:

= 12 ounces × 46

= 552 ounces

The total amount of hones in the jars will be the addition of the honey in the small and large jars. This will be:

= 576 ounces + 552 ounces

= 1128 ounces

The most reasonable estimate will be:

1100 ounces because 20 × 30 + 10 × 50 = 1100

Need help on this question writing linear equations
Mrrafil [7]

if you look at delta y over x, you'll notice it always equals 2

i.e (22-2)/10-0 = 20/10 = 2

or (14-2)/6-0 = 12/6 = 2

or even (22-8)/10-3 = 14/7 = 2

This means that m (slope) is 2.

Now as for b. b is the y intercept and that value occurs when x = 0. On the table, when x = 0 y = 2 so b = 2.

y = mx + b becomes

y = 2x + 2
