Answer: y = 3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Following the y = mx + b theory, we can find the equation (see attached image) by plugging in two points of the hypothetical graph.

For one pound of salad, Katie will pay $4 ($3 for the salad, $1 for the container). Thus, the first point will be (1,4). For two pounds, Katie will pay $7. Thus, the second point will be (2,7).

Knowing that m (slope) = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-{x_1}}, we can get the equation m = \frac{7-4}{2-1}, thus telling us that m = \frac{3}{1}, or 3. Plug in 3 for m, and you get y = 3x + b.

To solve for b, lets' use the second point (2,7). Plug in the coordinates and you get 7 = 3(2) + b, or 7 = 6 + b. Subtract 6 from both sides and you get b = 1.

Plug in 1 for b and you end up with y = 3x + 1

Last week at a festival, a man sold 4 times as many tie-dyed T-shirts as silk screened shirts. He sold 180 shirts altogether. Ho
lyudmila [28]

Let the number of tie-dyed T-shirts = x

The man sold 4 times as many tie-dyed T-shirts as silk-screened shirts.

So, the number of silk-screened shirts = 4x

He sold 180 shirts altogether

So,

\begin{gathered} x+4x=180 \\ 5x=180 \\  \\ x=\frac{180}{5}=36 \end{gathered}

So, the number of tie-dyed shirts = 36

Simplify by factoring. What are the excluded values? Choose all that apply.
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

x = -2

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Excluded values are the ones which make the denominator zero

3x² + x - 10

3x² + 6x - 5x - 10

3x(x + 2) - 5(x + 2)

(x + 2)(3x - 5)

x² - 6x - 16

x² - 8x + 2x - 16

x(x - 8) + 2(x - 8)

(x - 8)(x + 2)

[(x + 2)(3x - 5)] ÷ [(x - 8)(x + 2)]

(3x - 5)/(x - 8)

So excluded values are 8, -2
