the drama club sells 200 lb of fruit to raise money. the fruit is sold in 5-lb bags and 10-ib bags.
a. write an equation to find the number of each type of bag that the club should sell.
Weight Equation: 5f + 10t = 200 lb where f and t are the number of
five and ten lb. bags
--------------------------
b. graph your equation
Solve for either f or t:
5f = -10t+200
f = -2t+40
------------------
----------------
c. use your graph to find two different combinations of types of bags.
If t = 10, f = 20
If t = 20, f = 0

200=5f+10t
now graph it
You can exchange one 10 lb bag for 2 five lb bags so there are many combos.
two 5 lb bags and 19 10 lb bags 2,19
keep adding 2 to f and subtract one from t 4,18
6, 17
8,16
10,15
12, 14
etc
