We have 8 dozen bagels, or 8*12=96 bagels. Each plate can hold 14 bagels, so we have enough bagels to fill 96/14=about 6.86 plates. However, we cannot have a fraction of a plate, so we round up to have a total of seven plates. To fill all seven plates fully, 7*14=98 bagels would be needed, which is two more than we have.
To summarize, Mr. Corsetti has seven plates of bagels, and would need two more bagels to fill the last one up.
4+4=8
right???????????????????????
1) The y- axis is where x = 0, so the line "y = -1/2x - 3" will cross the y-axis when x = 0. You plug in "x = 0" into the equation, and get y = 0 -3, so y = -3. That means the line " y = -1/2x - 3" will cross the y-axis ar (0, -3)
2) If there are 2 parallel lines, then there is no solution, because the definition of parallel lines is, " 2 lines in the same plane, that never meet." That makes the solution inconsistent.
Solve this problem by forming an equation
