Courtney works for the Red Cross and has been tasked with buying non-perishable items for families recently displaced by a hurricane. She finds a company willing to send her Meals-Ready-to-Eat (MREs) at a discounted price. Cases of small portion meals are $20.00 each and cases of large portion meals are $30.00 each. She buys a total of 20 cases and spends a total of $450.00. Let x represent the number of small portion meals and let y represent the number of large portion meals. Write a system of equations, in terms of x and y, to model the situation. Enter your equations in the space provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the total number of cases is ...

  x + y = 20

The equation for the total cost of the cases is ...

  20x +30y = 450

Additional comment

The solution to these equations is (x, y) = (15, 5).

in mathematics, a function is a relationship between two variables such that the value of one of the variables, called the dependent variable, is determined by the value of the other variable, called the independent variable. there is a specific term we use to describe the set of independent variables of a function.

step-by-step explanation:

two pairs of adjacent sides are of equal length. this implies that one diagonal divides the kite into congruent triangles, and so the angles between the two pairs of equal sides are equal in measure. it also implies that the diagonals are perpendicular.
