Let, the cost of a belt = x
cost of a wallet = y
Then, system of equations would be:
x + y = 42
7x + 4y = 213
Multiply 1st equation by 4,
4x + 4y = 168
Substitute it from 2nd equation,
3x = 45
x = 15
Now, substitute it in 1st equation,
15 + y = 42
y = 42 - 15 = 27
In short, Belt costs $15 and wallet costs $27
Hope this helps!
Given:
2 walls - 14ft by 9ft
2 walls - 20ft by 9ft
Wall 1 & 2 = 14ft * 9ft = 126 ft² x 2 = 252 ft²
Wall 3 & 4 = 20ft * 9ft = 180 ft² x 2 = 360 ft²
Total area = 252 ft² + 360 ft² = 612 ft²
Cost of 1 single roll: $20
612 ft² ÷ 18 ft² = 34 rolls * $20 = $680
Cost of double roll: $40
612 ft² ÷ 54 ft² = 11.33 rolls ⇒ 12 double rolls
12 * $40 = $480
If Christopher opts for 1 single roll of wallpaper, he'll spend $680.
If he opts for double roll of wallpaper, he'll spend $480.
Double roll of wallpaper is the cheaper option. He'll save $200 if he'll buy the double roll of wallpaper.
The easiest way is to graph it based upon the slope (m) and y-intercept (b), in the standard slope-intercept form: y = m (x) + b.
The line above intercepts the y-axis at y = -2, which is b. The slope (m) = rise/run = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1 ); so for the point (-4, 2) to (-6, 4) is:
(4-2)/(-6--4) = 2/(-6+4) = 2/-2 = -1.
So one form of the equation would be:
y = -1x - 2
Now the other form of an equation is point-slope: y-k = m (x-h), where the point is at (h, k)
and if we pick -5 for x (bc 5 it listed in 3 of the answers), the y at x=-5 looks like around +3
so we get: y-k = -1 (x--5)...
y-3 = -(x+5)... therefore D) is the correct answer:
