The Phony Bologna Meat Company offers two platters. Platter A comes with 4 hamburgers, 3 hot dogs, and 2 pig's feet, and costs $15. Platter B comes with 3 hamburgers, 4 hot dogs, and 5 pig's feet, and costs $12.

A picnic organizer requires 220 hamburgers, 270 hot dogs, and 250 pig's feet. (There can be leftovers, but these are the minimum requirements.) What is the minimum cost (in dollars)?

Teri finds a pile of money with at least $600. If she puts $200 of the pile in her left pocket, gives away 4/5 of the rest of the pile, and then puts the rest in her right pocket, she'll have more money than if she instead gave away $600 of the original pile and kept the rest. What are the possible values of the number of dollars in the original pile of money? (Give your answer as an interval.)

Please give me the answer!

I think 3) is wrong, could you express it in slope intercept?

I am still unsure about 2) and 3)

Compare:





Give your answer as a five letter word, all capital letters and no spaces. For example, if you think that  E < B < C< D< A, then you would answer EBCDA.

Anyways, i have a new problem:

1)Let line

be the graph of
. Line
  is perpendicular to line
  and passes through the point (10,10). If line
is the graph of the equation y =mx + b, then find m+b.


2) Find B-A if the graph of Ax + By = 7 passes through (2,1) and is parallel to the graph of 2x - 7y = 3

3)The "perpendicular bisector" of the line segment

is the line that passes through the midpoint of
  and is perpendicular to
.

The equation of the perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining the points (1,2) and (-5,12) is y=mx+b. Find m + b.

I have a large truck and my neighbor has four identical small trucks. My truck can carry at least 800 pounds more than each of her trucks, but no more than one-third what all four of her trucks combined can carry. Knowing only these facts, what is the largest number of pounds that I can be assured of being able to carry in my truck?

Suppose you graphed every single point of the form

. For example, when have
, we have
and
so
  is on the graph. Explain why the graph is a line, and find an equation whose graph is this line.
