The school is selling T-shirts and sweatshirts to raise $1000. Sweatshirts cost $20 each and T-shirt cost $10 each. Write an equation to models this situation, where x is the number of sweatshirts and y is the number of T-shirts sold. Find the x-intercept and y-intercept. Type in as ORDER PAIRS.

Respuesta :

To find the x and y intercept, you will write the equation that represent this scenario and substitute in 0 for the x and y.

20x + 10y = 1000
20(0) + 10y = 1000
y = 100

(x, y)
(0, 100)

20x + 10y = 1000
20x +10(0) = 1000
x = 50

(50, 0)

The y intercept is (0, 100), and the x intercept  is (50, 0).
