One customer purchases 8 bags of cat food and 2 bags of dog food. The total weight of the purchase is 44 pounds. Another customer purchases 5 bags of cat food and 2 bags of dog food. The total weight of the purchase is 35 pounds. A. You write the following system of linear equations to represent this
situation. Is your answer correct?
8x + 2y = 44
5x + 2y = 35

B. Your answer for the next step is 13 79, x = which is incorrect. Explain
the error.

the answer to your question a or b but i am pretty sure it is b. i hope this : )

step-by-step explanation:

do i do it on a graph?

step-by-step explanation:

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.

definitely a. the others have almost all data points on one side of the line.
