Math Algebra Word Problem

Question

1. Write an equation to find out how many cups of each beverage must be sold to raise $240?

2.what are the x and y intercepts?

 

Answer 1

There is not enough evidence to explain a complete answer but I can set up a guideline.

1. We know that there are two beverages labeled as x and y. Knowing that we have both of these making $240, we can simply write it as this: x+y=240.
2. We can then graph the equation. You can make everything equal to y, making y=-x+240. Both of your intercepts equal 240. You can check your answer at desmos.com to see the same results.
