Question

i need help
Sal's Sandwich Shop sells wraps and sandwiches as part of its lunch specials. The profit on every sandwich is $2 and the profit on every wrap is $3. Sal made a profit of $1,470 from lunch specials last month. The equation 2x + 3y = 1,470 represents Sal's profits last month, where x is the number of sandwich lunch specials sold and y is the number of wrap lunch specials sold.
1. Change the equation to slope-intercept form. Identify the slope and y-intercept of the equation. Be sure to show all your work.
i dont understand need someone to walk me through

Answer 1

What exactly don't you understand?
• • •
Slope-intercept form is this: \(y=mx+b\)
\(m\) is slope
\(b\) is the y-intercept

Answer 2

the whole thing i dont even understand the world problem and the question im so confused i even took notes!

Answer 3

Ok, well, here is the information that is necessary. Some problems tend to overload things to confuse you.
http://prntscr.com/btgan1 They want you to convert this equation to slope-intercept form

Answer 4

so the equation is 2x+3y=1,470 i have to put that into slope-intercept form?

Answer 5

Yes ☺

Answer 6

Hey I remember this from Algebra 1, who's your FLVS teacher?

Answer 7

ok so it would be 3y+2x?

Answer 8

You have an equation in the form \(Ax+By=C\), now you need to change it to the \(y=mx+b\) form

Answer 9

Hint: Isolate the \(y\).
For example:\[2x+3y=1470\]\[3y=-2x+1470\]This is step one. The \(2x\) is now negative as it was subtracted from both sides, and the left side cancels out.

Answer 10

ok im following that so far so wouldnt i try to get y by its self?

Answer 11

Yep, can you do it from here? ☺

Answer 12

um maybe lets me try and see where i get too

Answer 13

Okay, take your time.
