Question 1011259: if a bottle of soda pop costs$2 and a large bag of chips is $3, write an equation in standard for that models the possible combinations if you have $15 .(let p=soda pop, c=chips.
if you bought only soda how many could you buy?
if you bought only 3 bottles of soda, how many bags of chips could you buy

x and y, whole numbers only
x for how many pop or carbonated drinks, y for how many bags of chips

2x%2B3y=15 if using the entire 15 dollars is wanted. The two next questions are asking for the axis intercepts..... but for one of the items, and not the other item. You would still find both intercepts in the process.

if you bought only soda how many could you buy?
if you bought only 3 bottles of soda, how many bags of chips could you buy
With p being number of soda pops and c being chips, we get: highlight_green%282p+%2B+3c+=+15%29
Soda only: 2p = 15, or p+=+15%2F2, or 7.5 soda pops, rounded DOWN to highlight_green%287%29
3 bottles soda: 2(3) + 3c = 15 -------> 6 + 3c = 15 -------> 3c = 15 - 6 ------> 3c = 9
c+=+9%2F3, or 3
With $15, can be purchased
