A gift basket that contains jars of jam and packages of bread mix costs $45. There are 8 items in the basket. Jars of jam cost $6 each, and packages of bread mix cost $5 each. Wrte and solve a system of liner equations to find the number of jars of jam and the number of packages of bread mix in the gift basket.

5 jams and 3 bread mixes

Step-by-step explanation:

first we can say that

the number of jars is x

number of bread mixes is y

so we can set up our equation

x+y=8

6x+5y=45

so now we can set up substitution

x=8-y

now we can substitute 8-y in for the x's

so

6(8-y)+5y=45

distribute

48-6y+5y=45

simplify

48-y=45

-y=-3

y=3

now plug that in

x+3=8

x=5

10 b/c 5*2 =10

step-by-step explanation:

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
