Answer 4

that is the word problem the questions for it are coming up

Answer 5

A.) Write an equation to find how many cups of each beverage must be sold to raise $240.00?


B.) Graph the equation. What are x- and y-intercepts?

Answer 6

I would say A because it makes sense and A is right :)

Answer 7

A and B are both questions not choices

Answer 8

anyone?

Answer 9

well then hold on lol??!

Answer 10

hold on im solving the problem

Answer 11

arrd sorry

Answer 12

let x = number of cups of iced tea sold
and y = number of cups of lemonade sold

A) 0.5x + 0.8y = 240

B) x-intercept occurs when y = 0, so
0.5x = 240
x = 480 = number of cups of iced tea to be sold if no lemonade is sold.

y-intercept occurs when x = 0
0.8y = 240
y = 300 = number of cups of lemonade to be sold if no iced tea is sold.

that's it! ;)

Answer 13

but thats not an equation thats more of an explanation....but good i needed that too but what would be the equation?

and how would i graph it i suck at graphing -_-

Answer 14

x = number of cups of iced tea sold
y = number of cups of lemonade sold

this is for A) 0.5x + 0.8y = 240

this i for B) x-intercept occurs when y = 0, so
0.5x = 240
x = 480
480= number of cups of iced tea to be sold if no lemonade is sold.

y-intercept occurs when x = 0
0.8y = 240
y = 300
300= number of cups of lemonade to be sold if no iced tea is sold.

and funny how
@evlknvl35 got the same thing i had but in a little different words

Answer 15

or i got what he had but in a different way which ever way works

Answer 16

nice job of explaning it but what would be the actual equation....\
and how would i graph it

Answer 17

idk @abdela25

Answer 18

A) is asking only for an equation to find how many cups of each beverage was sold to raise the money i see what you guys did i get it now

but B) is asking to graph that equation that was done in A) how do i do that -_-

Answer 19

yuppers and its the same way I said it lol

Answer 21

No. Cups Iced Tea = x
No. Cups of Lemonade = y

a.) 0.5x + 0.8y = 240
5x + 8y = 2400
8y = - 5x + 2400
y = - 5/8 x + 300
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

b.) x-int.: y = 0:

- 5/8 x + 300 = 0
- 5/8 x = - 300
x = - 300 / (- 5/8)
x = - 300(- 8/5)
x = 2400 / 5
x = 480

x-int. (480, 0)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
y-int.: x = 0:

y = - 5/8(0) + 300
y = 300

y-int. (0, 300)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Answer 22

haha I sorry @taffalousswagg_bru /there you go

Answer 23

woah @arabpride your smart thanks !

Answer 24

lolz Your welcome!!! AnyTime *^.^*
