Question

In the equation below, b and c represent the price per pound, in dollars, of beef and chicken, respectively, x weeks after july 1 during last summer. what was the price per pound of beef when it was equal to the price per pound of chicken? b=2.35 + 0.25x c=1.75+0.40x
A) $2.60
B) $2.85
C) $2.95
D) $3.35

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1 and c are supposed to be equal, I put 2.35+0.25x=1.75+0.4x and solved that for the x. I got 4. Then, since I want to find the price of the beef, I plugged the 4 in the equation of "b" and got 3.35.

I made many mistakes when solving so I restarted many times which is why it took so long to answer. Whew, I actually found the answer though!

If you want to help, mark me brainliest, I'm only 1 away from getting virtuoso! That would make my day, and hope I made yours.
