(red pens + black pens) / total pens
(4 + 6) / 15 = 10/15 = 2/3
Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
the solution to a system of equations is at the points of intersection of the 2 lines.
the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = x - 4 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m =
y = x - 1 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m =
• Parallel lines have equal slopes
then the 2 lines are parallel and never intersect.
Thus the system of equations has no solution
Let 'x' represent the number of baskets and let 'y' be the total cost.
Since the paint costs 14.50 and each basket cost 7.25, then we have the following function:
To find the cost of 4 baskets, we can make x = 4 and solve for y:
therefore, the cost of painting 4 baskets is $43.50
