a. One combination of veggies that weighs 10 pounds but does not cost $17 is: 9 pounds of broccoli and 1 pound of zucchini
b. One combination of veggies that costs $17 but does not weigh 10 pounds is: 7lbs broccoli and 2 lbs of zucchini
c. The number of pounds each of zucchini and broccoli can Andre get so that he spends all $17 and gets 10 pounds of veggies is:
6lbs zucchini and 4lbs broccoli.
How to interpret the linear equation graph?
a. One combination of veggies that weighs 10 pounds but does not cost $17 is:
9 pounds of broccoli and 1 pound of zucchini
b. 7lbs broccoli 2 lbs of zucchini:
This is 9 lbs of veggies but it costs 17 dollars because:
(7 * 2) + (2 * 1.50) = 17
14 + 3 = 17 (the 7 and 2 is the amount of pounds of veggies and the 2 and 1.50 are the prices)
c. It would be 6 lbs of zucchini and 4 lbs of broccoli because:
6 + 4 = 10 and
(6 * 1.50) + (4 * 2) = 17
Complete question is:
Andre is in charge of cooking broccoli and zucchini for a large group. He has to spend all $17 he has and can carry 10 pounds of veggies. Zucchini costs $1.50 per pound and broccoli costs $2 per pound. One graph shows combinations of zucchini and broccoli that weigh 10 pounds and the older shows combinations of zucchini and broccoli that cost $17
a. Name one combination of veggies that weighs 10 pounds but does not cost $17.
b. Name one combination of veggies that costs $17 but does not weigh 10 pounds.
c. How many pounds each of zucchini and broccoli can Andre get so that he spends all $17 and gets 10 pounds of veggies?
