Suppose you have $60 to buy shrimp and

chicken wings for a party. Shrimp costs $10/lb and wings cost $6/lb.
Write and graph a linear equation that could be used to determine the number of pounds of each food that can be purchased with $60

Would I start with the y = mx + b
60 = 10x + 6X + 0????

pounds of shrimp --- x
pounds of wings ---- y

10x + 6y = 60
divide each term by 6
2x + y = 10 or y = -2x + 10

I will assume you know how to graph it
Nemo did it
I have no idea
This is wrong you can't divide 10 by 6 !
