0.14x + 0.07(280-x) = 0.08*280

0.14x + 19.6-0.07x = 22.4

0.07x + 19.6 = 22.4

0.07x = 2.8
x = 2.8 / 0.07 = 40
x = 40 pounds of Soybean
280 -40 = 240 of cornmeal

Answer:

$y=14.5x+5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of tickets

y ----> the price of tickets

we have the ordered pairs

(4,63) and (6,92)

step 1

<em>Find the slope of the linear equation</em>

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{92-63}{6-4}$

$m=\frac{29}{2}=\$14.5\ per\ ticket$

step 2

Find the y-intercept or initial value of the linear equation

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the slope b is the y-intercept

we have

$m=14.5$

$point\ (4,63)$

substitute

$63=14.5(4)+b$

solve for b

$b=63-14.5(4)$

$b=\$5$

In this context the y-intercept is a one charge fee for the ticket service

The equation is equal to

$y=14.5x+5$
