Algebra.Com's Answer #368072 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! You are selling red candy for $2 and blue candy for $1. Each person is asked to sell $10 worth of candy. \n" ); document.write( "1. Write and equation that says the total amount from red candy, x and blue candy, y is EXACTLY equal to $10.... IS THIS RIGHT 2x+1y=10?? \n" ); document.write( "Yes this is right \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "2. Rewrite the equation above in slope-intercept form? IS THIS RIGHT y=10-2x??? \n" ); document.write( "Yes but usually written: y = -2x + 10 (the y = mx+b) form) \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "3. What are 6 combinations of red candy and blue candy that you must sell to meet or exceed the $10 requirement..... IS THIS RIGHT 5,1 5,2 5,3 5,4 5,5 5,6???? \n" ); document.write( "If you just want to meet the $10 requirement: \n" ); document.write( "y = -2x + 10 \n" ); document.write( "If you have 5 red candies, x=5, you would have 0 blue candies (y) \n" ); document.write( "y = -2(5) + 10 \n" ); document.write( "y = -10 + 10 \n" ); document.write( "y = 0 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "A table for this would look like this starting with x=0, (no red candy) \n" ); document.write( " x | y \n" ); document.write( "------- \n" ); document.write( " 0 |10 \n" ); document.write( " 1 | 8 (1 red, 8 blue) \n" ); document.write( " 2 | 6 \n" ); document.write( " 3 | 4 \n" ); document.write( " 4 | 2 \n" ); document.write( " 5 | 0 (5 red no blue) \n" ); document.write( "Note that 6 combinations is all you, could have (no negative candy) \n" ); document.write( " |
