Answer:
since the unknown amount can buy 100 pencils
he bought 70 pencils
therefore $4.50 can buy 30 pencils
so 1 pencils cost $4.50 /30=0.15
A) For the equation
, the slope is
.
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is slope and b is the y-intercept. This means that if
, the slope is
.
B) Since this equation is in the same form, you just find what m is equal to.
Since
, that's the slope.
For the solution, set
equal to
, so it would be put together like this:
So your answer is
-4.667.
15X=12X+12
Subtract 12X
3X=12
X=4
Divide 5 1/2, or 11/2 by 3/4. You can do that by multiplying 11/2 and 4/3 to get 44/6. Simplify and you get 22/3, which is about 7.33 or 7 1/3. If he can only paint whole dog houses, the answer is 7.
