Barbara sells iced tea for $1.49 per bottle and water for $1.25 per bottle. She wrote an equation to find the number of bottles she needs to sell to earn $100. 1.25x + 1.49 = 100
What error did Barbara make in writing the equation?

1.25x + 1.49 = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

1.25  =  Water bottle selling price

x = number of water bottles

1.49 = Ice tea sell price

Missing = number of ice tea bottles

100 = Total selling price

Mistake:

Barbara’s equation did not consider the number of bottles of iced tea

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
