To prepare for wrestling season, Tommy wants to eat 24 grams of protein at breakfast. He knows that there are 3 grams of protein

in a slice of bacon and 6 grams of protein in an egg. Let x represent the number of slices of bacon he will eat and let y represent the number of eggs he will eat.
Write an equation that relates the number of slices of bacon to the number of eggs he will eat, assuming he eats exactly 24 grams of protein. **Rewrite your equation in slope-intercept form.

Answer:

1) The equation that represents the number of slices of bacon to the number he will eat, assuming he eats 24 grams is;

3·x + 6·y = 24

2) The equation in slope and intercept form is;

y = 4 - 0.5·x

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The given parameters are;

The amount of protein Tommy wants to eat for breakfast = 24 grams

The quantity of protein in a slice of bacon = 3 grams

The quantity of protein in an egg = 6 grams

Let x represent the number of slices of bacon he will eat and let y represent the number of eggs he will eat

The equation that represents the number of slices of bacon to the number he will eat, assuming he eats 24 grams is given as follows;

3·x + 6·y = 24

2) The equation in slope and intercept form is given by making y the subject of the above equation as follows;

3·x + 6·y = 24

6·y = 24 - 3·x

y = 24/6 -1/2·x

y = 4 - 0.5·x, which is in the slope and intercept form y = m·x + c

Where;

m = The slope = -0.5

c = The y-intercept = 4

I'm confused. Can someone help?

a.

The polynomial w^2+18w+84 cannot be factored

The perfect square trinomial is w^2+18w + 81

----------

The reason the original can't be factored is that solving w^2+18w+84=0 leads to no real solutions. Use the quadratic formula to see this. The graph of y = x^2+18x+84 shows there are no x intercepts. A solution and an x intercept are basically the same. The x intercept visually represents the solution.

w^2+18w+81 factors to (w+9)^2 which is the same as (w+9)(w+9). We can note that w^2+18w+81 is in the form a^2+2ab+b^2 with a = w and b = 9

================================================

b.

The polynomial y^2-10y+23 cannot be factored

The perfect square trinomial is y^2-10y + 25

---------

Using the quadratic formula, y^2-10y+23 = 0 has no rational solutions. The two irrational solutions mean that we can't factor over the rationals. Put another way, there are no two whole numbers such that they multiply to 23 and add to -10 at the same time.

If we want to complete the square for y^2-10y, we take half of the -10 to get -5, then square this to get 25. Therefore, y^2-10y+25 is a perfect square and it factors to (y-5)^2 or (y-5)(y-5)

Apply to Row 2 : Row 2 + Row 1

2x + 2y + 3z = 0

y + 4z = -3

2x + 3y + 3z = 5

Apply to Row 3: Row 3 - Row 1

2x + 2y + 3z = 0

y + 4z = -3

y = 5

Apply to Row 3: Row 3 - Row 2

2x + 2y + 3z = 0

y + 4z = -3

-4z = 8

Simplify rows

2x + 2y + 3z = 0

y + 4z = -3

z = -2

<em>Note that the matrix is in echelon form now. The next steps are for back substitution.</em>

Apply to Row 2: Row 2 - 4 Row 3

2x + 2y + 3z = 0

y = 5

z = -2

Apply to Row 1: Row 1 - 3 Row 3

2x + 2y = 6

y = 5

z = -2

Apply to Row 1: Row 1 - 2 Row 2

2x = -4

y = 5

z = 2

Simplify the rows

<u>x = -2</u>

<u>y = 5</u>

<u>z = -2</u>
