TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

ok lets say v is vanilla wafers and c is chocolate wafers

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

vanilla costs $4 chocolate costs $1 and they buy v amount of vanilla and c amount of chocolate to get a total bill of $45

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

So we can make one equation out of that which is.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

4v+1c=45

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Yes but we still need to make the second equation.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

ok so we know that in all she bought 27 wafers so v+c=27

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Do you get that?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

So if we graph both of those two equations, we get https://www.desmos.com/calculator/gc1tpaohjw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Verify that v = 6 and c = 21 .

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Because desmos will only graph with x and y I made v to x and c to y.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

And you will see that the two lines intersect at (6,21) and so then v=6 and c=21

Is demos a plotting system?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Desmos has a graphing calculator

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Umm Yes @piercetheveil47 (6,21) is the point where the 2 lines intersect on the graph.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

So basically @robtobey Yes.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

You can include the graph and say that you graphed the lines and saw where they intersected.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

You chose to solve it by graphing.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

or kind of like I chose to solve it by graphing...

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

No problem @piercetheveil47 @~
