There are two trucks for sale that would be perfect for your business. the blue food truck is in perfect condition, but cost $8,000 more than the green food truck the green food truck is in need of repairs to make it fully functional. the two trucks together costs $172,000. how much does each food truck cost?

Cost of each food truck is:

Green: $82,000

Blue:    $90,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first analyse the information given. We have two trucks a Blue (B) and Green (G). We know that B costs as $8000 more than G and together they cost $172,000.

Now if we represent the cost of a truck with and we say that the Green costs , then we know that the Blue's cost will be .

Thus the total cost of the two trucks (given at $172,000) can be expressed as:

Solving the above expression for we have:

Thus we know that since Green truck is and Blue truck is the cost of each truck is:

Green: $82,000

Blue:    $90,000

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
