9/20.... Also is the worksheet you’re working on?
Answer:
D.) The company cannot provide lunch for all 20 employees and use the entire budget because there is no solution to the system of equations r+t=20 and 5r+5t=150
Step-by-step explanation:
The given information says that the <em>total</em> amount of lunch bought should equal $150 when both options cost $5:
It also says that the food should feed <em>all</em> 20 employees:
This is now a system. Solve by substitution.
Solve the second equation for r. Use inverse operations to isolate the variable by subtracting t from both sides:
Now insert this value of r into the first equation:
Simplify the equation. Use the distributive property:
Cancel the terms:
100 does not equal 150, so there is no solution to the system.
