Answer 1

Complete question is missing and I have attached it.

Answer:

A)2x + 3y = 30

B) x - intercept = 15

C) y - intercept = 10

Explanation:

A)

From the attached image, we are told that x represents the weight of hamburger (in pounds) and y represent the weight of chicken (in pounds)

Now, we are given cost of hamburger is $2 per pound and cost of chicken is $3 per pound.

If total money available to spend is $30,then the equation that models how much of each type of meat you can purchase is;

2x + 3y = 30

B) x - intercept occurs when y = 0.

Thus;

2x + 3(0) = 30

2x + 0 = 30

2x = 30

x = 30/2

x = 15

C) y - intercept occurs at x = 0.

Thus;

2(0) + 3y = 30

0 + 3y = 30

3y = 30

y = 30/3

y = 10
