Question

How do I write two linear equations for this problem?

Answer 1

Explanation:

You can combine the sell price and the price to make. You now make 0.60 per muffin. You also need to consider the $120/day in electricity, so your equation should be:

`y = 0.6x - 120`

If you need to solve how many muffins you need, just set the equation equal to 0.

0.6x-120=0

First, add 120 to the right.

0.6x=120

0.6=3/5, multiply by reciprocal to get x by itself

x=200 muffins.

Answer 2

$204

Explanation:

sorry i don't know the equation just the answer

hope this helps

she needs to make 60 muffins to cover the oven cost (120/2)

then multiply 60 by 1.40 (84)

add 84 to oven cost

$204

102 muffins
