The slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + b
where m = slope, and b = y-intercept.
You need a slope of 1, so m = 1.
You need a y-intercept of -1, so b = -1.
Replace m with 1 and b with -1 in the slope intercept form to get
y = 1x + (-1)
which simplifies to
y = x - 1
Assume the girls sold X boxes in the first week. They sold in the second week X+5 and 2X+10 in the third week.
The sum X + X + 5 + 2X + 10 = 431
4X = 416. Therefore X = 104
The answers are:
a0 = 104
a1 = 109
a2 = 218

9/10n + 6 = 51 Original Problem.
9/10n = 46 Subtract 6 from each side.
n = 51.11111111111111111111 Multiply each side by (10/9)
Answer: n = 51.111111111111111111111
