At a farmers' market. Karen and Alice each bought some bread that cost $2 per loaf. Then Karen spent $3 to purchase other items,

while Alice spent $1. Could the girls have bought the same number of loaves of bread and spent the same total amount?
1. Let x represent the number of loaves of bread. Fill in the boxes to write a system of equations for the total amounts spent.

Karen: y = x +
Alice: y = x +

2. What are the slopes of the lines represented by the equations?

3. What are the y-intercepts of the lines represented by the equations?

4. Do the lines intersect?

5. How many solutions are there to this system of equations?

Answer:

(1)

Karen: y = 2x +3

Alice: y = 2x +1

(2): Slope is 2

(3) y intercept

b = 3 --- For Karen

b = 1 --- For Alice

(4) They do not intersect

(5) No solution

(6) No

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x = loaves

y = amount

Solving (1): Complete the equation.

For Karen:

m = 2 --- the rate

b = 3 --- additional spendings

For Alice:

m = 2 --- the rate

b = 1 --- additional spendings

The general equation is;

y = mx +b

For Karen, it becomes

y = 2x +3

For Alice, it is:

y = 2x +1

(2): The slopes.

In (1), we have:

m = 2 --- the rate (for both Karen and Alice).

This rate implies the slope.

<em>Hence, the slope is 2</em>

(3): The y intercept.

The additional spendings in (1) means the y intercept.

So, we have:

b = 3 --- For Karen

b = 1 --- For Alice

(4) Because they have the same slope, they do not intersect

(5) Number of solutions.

y = 2x +3

y = 2x +1

Subtract both equations

y-y = 2x-2x +3-1

0 = 2

This means there is no solution

(6) Can they spend the same amount on the same number of loaves

In (5), the equations have no solution

<em>Hence, it is not possible to spend the same amount for the same number of loaves</em>

Answer:

2and19/90

Step-by-step explanation:

-2/3*3/5= _2/5

-2/5+5/2-(2/3×1/6)
