Answer:
The required number of plants is 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
Nursery P charges $15 per plant plus a $50 delivery fee on any order. Nursery Q charges $20 per plant and no delivery fee.
If x number of plants that must be delivered for the total cost to be the same at both nurseries, then
15x + 50 = 20x
⇒ 5x = 50
⇒ x = 10
Therefore, the required number of plants is 10. (Answer)
The Solution:
From the graph, there is a point of intersection between the graphs of the two equations in the system. This implies that:
There is a viable solution to the given system of equations at the point where the two lines intersect, that is, at the point (26,34).
