Question

FAN AND MEDAL

the equation that represents that canned good order is 24x + 64 = 384

x= number of minuets for fruit cans

y= number of minuets for vegetable cans

explain how to calculate the x- and y- intercepts

Answer 1

@baru

Answer 2

is this connected to the other question? O.o haha

Answer 3

yeah I guess so

Answer 4

okay so to solve for x we just isolate it form

y=mx+b to x=y-b/m

Answer 5

follow?

Answer 6

yes I think

Answer 7

could you help me chose the graph that represents the linear equation 24x + 64y = 384

@atreyu6s3x6

Answer 11

sorry my computer glitched

Answer 12

it's okay

Answer 13

okay so we want to put it into slope intercept, its easier, can you do that?

Answer 14

Idk how to for sure

Answer 15

okat so we want to isolate y so we:

24x+64y=384

subtract 24x from both sides:

64y=-24x+384

follow?

Answer 16

okay

Answer 17

now divide both sides by 64

Answer 18

64 divided by 64 would be 0 and 64 divided by 384 is 6

Answer 19

so it's 6 but for the graph would it be the first one because that one has the line that goes through 6

Answer 20

its actually 1 so we get y=-3/8x+6

Answer 21

can you graph that?

Answer 22

I've never really done this before but

Answer 23

its fine give me a moment :)

Answer 24

okay

Answer 25

thats the equation graphed :)

Answer 26

its actually the first one :)

Answer 27

oh well I thought that one was wrong because I said that one first lol oh sorry but thank you so much :)

Answer 28

@winsteria @atreyu6s3x6
If all you need are the intercepts from
24x+64y=384
or from a linear equation in any other form, we first realize that
at the x-intercept, y=0, and
at the y-intercept, x=0.

So to find the x-intercept, we substitute 0 for y, and solve for x, thus
24x+64(0)=384 which means x=384/24=16
To find the y-intercept, we substitute 0 for x, and solve for y, thus
24(0)+64y=384 which means y=384/64=6
So the intercepts are (16,0) and (0,6).
The appropriate graph would therefore have an x-intercept of 16, and y-intercept of 6.

Answer 29

thank you
