Sarita has to solve the problem below for homework

2x+3y=25

4x+2y=22

which variable should she choose to solve for so that she can use substitution to solve the system?

a. sarita should solve for y in the second equation because the coefficients can be reduced by a common factor to eliminate the coefficient for y.

b. sarita should solve for x in the first equation because the coefficients can be reduced by a common factor to eliminate the coefficient for x.

c. sarita should solve for y in the first equation because the coefficients can be reduced by a common factor to eliminate the coefficient for y.

d. sarita should solve for x in the second equation because the coefficients can be reduced by a common factor to eliminate the coefficient for x.

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3y=25

4x+2y=22

Option A

2y = 22-4x

y = 11 -2x

Option B

2x = 25 -3y

x = 25/2 -3/2y

Option C

3y = 25 - 2x

y = 25/3 -2/3x

Option D

4x = 22 - 2y

x = 22/4 -2/4y

x = 11/2 -1/2y

In Option B,C and D we have fractions and for substitution the calculations will be complex.

But Option A has no fractions and solving by putting the value of y in equation 1 is easy.

So, Option A is correct.

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
