Respuesta :
The manager of a plant nursery bought 120 lb of soil to use for potting plants. the manager can put 5 lb into each of the small pots and 12 lb into each of the large pots. The manager made a sketch to show the line representing the different combinations of pots that can be used. the x-axis represented the number of small pots and the y-axis represented the number of large pots. the manager labeled only the intercepts.
The equation will be :
5x + 12y = 120
The only set of coordinate pairs that satisfy's the equation are :
b.(0, 10)(0, 10) and (24, 0)(24, 0)
The equation will be :
5x + 12y = 120
The only set of coordinate pairs that satisfy's the equation are :
b.(0, 10)(0, 10) and (24, 0)(24, 0)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the manager of a plant nursery bought 120 lb of soil to use for potting plants. the manager can put 5 lb into each of the small pots and 12 lb into each of the large pots.
Let no of 5 lbs pots be x and 12 lbs pots be y.
Then total no of weight of soil used will be
[tex]5x+12y[/tex]
Hence [tex]5x+12y =120[/tex]
x intercept of this line is [tex]\frac{120}{5} =24[/tex]
y intercept of this line is [tex]\frac{120}{12} =10[/tex]
Hence correct answer is option b.
