Answer:

76

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Identify given information and create 2 equations.

c = # of customers g = given items

1/5c = g (Equation for doughnuts)

1/12c = g (Equation for cupcakes)

Step 2: Substitute in for given items

1/5c = 8

1/5c = 3

Step 3: Use PEMDAS to find c in each equation.

1/5c = 8

*5 *5

c = 40

1/12c = 3

*12 *12

c = 36

Step 4: add customers from both equations

40 + 36 = 76

The bakery had 76 customers that day.

Hope this helps =)

Linear equation for passing through (-3,5) & perpendicular to y=-1/2x -3
soldier1979 [14.2K]
The perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line it is perpendicular to. Therefore, the slope would be the negative reciprocal of -1/2 which would be 2.

From there, you plug in the coordinate into x and y and solve for b;

5 = 2 * -3 + b

5 = -6 + b

b = 11

Therefore the equation is;

y = 2x + 11

If a line crosses the y-axis at (0,1) and has a slope of 4/5, what is the equation of the line ?
stepladder [879]
The slope intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).  We are given that the slope is 4/5 and the point (0,1) so we know m=4/5 and b=1 so:

y=4x/5+1  now to rearrange into standard form ax+by=c

y=(4x+5)/5

5y=4x+5

5y-4x=5

So the answer is D.

However, by convention, in standard form, the equation is usually expressed with a positive coefficient for x.

5y-4x=5 SHOULD be expresses so the x has a positive coefficient, divide both sides by -1 and you have the technically correct form:

4x-5y=-5

Apparently whomever/whatever posed this question to you was unaware of this convention :P
