Answer:

Kay sold 67 cell phones and Allen sold 50 cell phones.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let k = # cell phones Kay sold and a = # cell phones Allen sold.

k + a = 117

k = 17 + a

So:

(17 + a) + a = 117

2a = 100

a = 50

Plug this back into 2nd equation:

k = 17 + a

k = 17 + 50

k = 67

Kay sold 67 cell phones and Allen sold 50 cell phones.

Determine the equation of a perpendicular line to y= -3/5x + 14, y-intercept 8
lana66690 [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  y = 5/3x +8

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of the given line. The given slope is -3/5, so the perpendicular slope is ...

  -1/(-3/5) = 5/3

That and the given y-intercept can be put into the slope-intercept equation ...

  y = mx + b . . . . . line of slope m and y-intercept b

  y = 5/3x + 8

Answer:

  6 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of pure concentrate used to make the punch. Then the total amount of concentrate in the punch is ...

 0.20·10 +1.00x = 0.50(10+x)

  x +2 = 0.5x +5 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  0.5x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 2+0.5x

  x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2
