Answer:
21/10
Step-by-step explanation:
Trust Me
6(3x+5)
6*3x=18x
6*5=30
<u>18x+30</u> is your answer! I hope this helped! :)
X = pencils, y = pens
8x + 6y = 8.50
4x + 4y = 5.....multiply by -2
----------------
8x + 6y = 8.50
-8x - 8y = -10 (result of multiplying by -2)
-----------------add
-2y = - 1.50
y = -1.50 / -2
y = 0.75 <=== pens cost 0.75
4x + 4y = 5
4x + 4(0.75) = 5
4x + 3 = 5
4x = 5 - 3
4x = 2
x = 2/4
x = 0.50 <== pencils cost 0.50
The line is parallel so it has the same slope as the other line, -4.
Substitute the x and y variables with the given points and find the y-intercept.
(-8, 6)
y = -4x + b
6 = -4(8) + b
6 = -32 + b
6 + 32 = b
38 = b
So the equation is:
y = -4 + 38
