The Sweet Treat sells 40 lbs of gummy bears and 30 caramel apples every day. At this rate, how many lbs of gummy bears will be sold for every 6 caramel apples? I need an answer ASAP

8 pounds of gummy bears.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this answer I did:

40/30 = 4/3

Then,

4/3 x 6 = 24/3

This simplified is 8.

To check:

8/6 x 5 = 40/30

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
