set up and solve a system of equations to solve the problem The school band sells carnations on Valentine's Day for $3 each. It

buys the carnations from a florist for $0.50 each, plus a $15 delivery charge. When will the cost of the carnations be equal to the revenhue from selling them? How many carnations does it neex to sell to reach this point?

Answer:

Number of carnations = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of carnations school band buys from florist be x.

Cost of each carnation = $0.50

Total cost for x number of carnations = $0.50x

Also , delivery cost = $15

So, total cost on buying x number of carnations from florist = 0.50x + 15

Now,

School band sells carnations at a price of $3 each.

Total revenue they get get after selling x number of carnations = $3x

We need to find that , when will the cost of the carnations be equal to the revenue from selling them.

i.e 3x = 0.50x + 15

or 3x - 0.50x = 15

or 2.50x = 15

or x = \frac{15}{2.50}

or x = 6

so on selling 6 carnations cost of carnation reach to the point where it is equal to revenue

Write the equation of a line passing through (6,-2) and perpendicular to -2x + 3y= -6
____ [38]
Perpendicular lines refers to a pair of straight lines that intercept each other. The slopes of this lines are opposite reciprocal, meaning that it's multiplication is -1.
On this case they give you the equation of a line and a point, and is asked to find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given one, and that passes through this point.


-2x+3y=-6                 Add 2x in both sides
3y=2x-6                    Divide by 3 in both sides to isolate y
y=2/3x-6/3


The slope of the given line is 2/3, which means that the slope of a line perpendicular to this one, needs to be -3/2. Now you need to find the value of b or the y-intercept by substituting the given point into the formula y=mx+b, where letter m represents the slope.

y=mx+b                 Substitute the given point and the previous slope found
-2=(-3/2)(6)+b       Combine like terms
-2=-9+b                 Add 9 in both sides to isolate b
7=b

The equation that represents the line perpendicular to -2x+3y=-6 and that passes through the point (6,-2), is y=-3/2x+7.
