Solve the following word problem by creating an algebraic equation and solving for the unknown value.

Madison and Mackenzie made $87 selling girl scout cookies. Madison made $15 more than 2 times as much as Mackenzie made. How much money did Mackenzie make?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2 equations were used : x + y = 87 and x = 2y + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Defining variables:

Madison = x

Mackenzie = y

-----------------------------------

Here's what we know:

Madison and Mackenzie made $87 selling girl scout cookies (TOGETHER). Therefore: x + y = 87

We also know that Madison made $15 more than 2 times as much as Mackenzie made.
Therefore: x = 2y + 15

Now we can substitute the 2nd equation (x = 2y + 15).

This gives us (2y + 15) + y = 87

After solving (2y + 15) + y = 87, we get y = 24

Okay, so now we know Mackenzie sold $24 worth of girlscout cookies...

this is also known as y = 24

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If we were to find out how much madison made aswell, here's what we would do.

We will put y = 24 back into the original equation  (x + y = 87).

x + 24 = 87

x = 63

Madison sold $63 worth of girlscout cookies.

Answer 2
the two equations used are x+y=87 along with x=2y+15

y = 1/8x -7
You solve by plugging in the slope and intercept to the equation y =mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. Because the y intercept it -7, you add the negative to +b, which turns it into a negative number

Slope-intercept form is: y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Since you're told the slope is 1/8 and the y-intercept is -7, you just plug those into the form:

    y = 1/8 x - 7

Note that the "–" in front of the 7 is already part of the answer on paper, so you don't need to add a second one.

The graph shows the cost of producing gadgets. which equation best represents the cost C of producing n gadgets?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]C = 0.10n[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If you study the graph you will see that there is no cost for producing zero gadgets. Cost = $0

For 100 gadgets the cost is $10

For 200 gadgets the cost is $20

etc

So the cost in $ is 1/10 times the number of gadgets

For 1 gadget, it costs [tex]\$\dfrac{1}{10}[/tex] or $0.10

For n gadgets it should cost $[tex]0.1n[/tex] same as [tex]\$\dfrac{n}{10}[/tex]

Mathematically speaking the graph represents the equation of a straight line which is of the form

y = mx + b

where y represents the vertical axis and x the horizontal axis

The variable m represents the slope of the line which is the increase of y for every unit increase in x.

The slope, m can be determined by using the formula [tex]\displaystyle \dfrac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex] where x1, y1 and x2, y2 are two points on the graph

This is also called rise/run

b is called the y-intercept and it represents the value of y where the line crosses the vertical axis

The difference here is that instead of y, we are using C as the variable for the vertical(y) axis and n as the variable for the horizontal(x) axis

So we get the modified equation as
C = m·n + b

We can see that when n = 0, C = 0 so b = 0 because the vertical intercept is zero

To calculate m, take any two points on the line

I choose (0, 0) and (100,10)

[tex]\rm Slope \;m = \dfrac{10-0}{100-0} = \dfrac{10}{100} = \dfrac{1}{10} = 0.10\\\\[/tex]

This means that for every gadget produced the cost will increase by $0.10

The equation becomes C = 0.10n + b and since b is 0 we get

[tex]C = 0.10n[/tex]

X= 2/25,y=0 so that’s the answer have a good day

Answer:

y = 2x + 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is written as:

y = mx + b, where (x,y) is a point on the line, m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

To get 10x - 5y = -4 into the form y = mx + b, you'll first want to get y by itself. You can start by subtracting 10x from both sides.

10x - 5y = -4

-5y = -10x - 4

As you can see, y still has a coefficient of -5 in front of it, so we'll have to divide the entire equation by -5 (you have to divide each term individually).

-5y = -10x - 4

y = 2x + 4/5
