A gift basket has 2 soaps and 5 lotions and costs $20. A second basket has 6 spas and 15 lotions and cost $60. Is it possible to determine the price of the soap?

A second basket has 6 spas--- I think you mean 6 soaps , so i will work with that

it is not possible to determine the price of the soap with the information given.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s0ap be represented as x

and lotion be represented as y

2 soaps and 5 lotions costing  $20 gives us equation 1 as

2 x+ 5y= 20 equation 1

second basket with 6 soaps and 15 lotions and costing $60 gives us equation 2 as

6x + 15y= 60equation 2

Step 2 -- Solving

2 x+ 5y= 20 equation 1

6x + 15y= 60equation 2

BY elimination method, we  multiply equation 1 by (3)

2x + 5y= 20  x (3)

6x + 15y=60equation 3

Subtraction of equation 3 from equation 2 gives us

6x + 15y=60equation 3

-6x + 15y= 60equation 2

0x +0y=0  which is no solution

Therefore it is not possible to determine the price of the soap

the required function is .

step-by-step explanation:

from the given table it is noticed that the graph passing through (-3,7), (0,4), (3,1) and (8,-4).

it is a linear function because the value of y is decrease by one as the value of x increase by 1.

the slope of the function is

the slope of the function is -1 and the y-intercept is 4.

the slope intercept form is

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

therefore the required function is . the graph of this function is shown below.
