-2a + 3b = 9 / x 2;

-4a + 6b = 18;

Then, -4a + 6b = 18
          +4a - 2b = 3 
          __________________(+)

We obtain 4b = 21;

b = 21/4;

-2a + 63/4 = 9;

-8a + 63 = 36;

-8a = - 27;

a = 27/8 ;

According to the question, a recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of sugar. If have 2 2/3 cups of sugar;

Difference of cups of sugar = 2 2/3 - 2 1/2

Convert to improper fraction

Difference = 8/3 -  5/2

Difference = 16-15/6

Difference = 1/6

Since the difference between the cups of sugar is 1/6, hence you have enough sugar.

PLEASE HELP. For a field trip, a bus company charges a flat fee plus an additional fee per student. For 30 students, the total
bogdanovich [222]

Step-by-step explanation:

the change in cost of 145-135.50 = 9.50 for an increase of students from 25 to 30. The ratio of change of cost to change of students = 9.50/5 = 1.9 and becomes the slope coefficient "m" in the formula y= mx + b. y = the total cost, mx becomes the variable cost and b becomes the fixed cost. To find b, use the data point given where the total cost = $135.50 when the students = 25, or 135.50 = 1.9*25 +b. Solving for b yields $ 88. Note that the other data point is where the total cost is $145 for students = 30. Using the new total cost equation shows that 30*1.9+88= 145
