Jessica received a $80 gift card for a coffee store. She used it in buying some coffee that cost $7.76 per pound. After buying the coffee, she had $33.44 left on her card. How many pounds of coffee did she buy?

Set up an equation

80 dollars is what we started off with

$7.76 per unknown pounds is the money you used

Jessica is left with 33.44 now

80 - 7.76x = 33.44

-80               -80

-7.76x = -46.56

/-7.76    /-7.76

x = 6 pounds

an

y = 6x -3y -12

y +3y +12 = 6x

=> . x = { 2y / 3 +2 } this is equation of line in terms of x

=> . if line meets the x-axis the co-ordinates of meeting point would be ( x , 0 )

=> . x = 2 ( 0 ) / 3 + 2

=> . x = 2

so, the point is ( 2 , 0 )
