Answer: Andrew = 20

Jimmy = 25

Richard = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of Andrew's comic books be y.

Jimmy has five more comic books than Andrew. This means Jimmy has: y+5

Richard has four times as many comic book as jimmy. This means Richard has: 4(y+5) = 4y + 20

Since there are 145 comic books together. This can be rewritten as:

y + (y+5) + (4y+20) = 145

6y+25 = 145

6y = 145 - 25

y = 120/6

y = 20

Andrew has 20 comic books

Jimmy has five more comic books than Andrew. Jimmy has: 20+5 = 25

Richard has: 4y + 20 = 4(20) + 20 = 100

Which equation represents the line passing through the points (4, −1) and (1, 0)? Select one: A. x + 3y = 1 B. 3x + y = 1 C. x −
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Gradient of a line =( y2 - y1)/x2 - x1

From the question, x1=4,y1=-1,x2=1,y2=0.

Therefore, substitute for these values in the above formula

m = 0-(-1)/1-4

= 0+1/-3

= -1/3.

Therefore, y-y1/x-x1 = -1/3

y - y1 = -1/3(x - x1)

y - (-1) = -(x-x1)/3

y+1 = - (x - 4)/3

Multiply through by 3

3y+3= -x+4

3y +x=4-3

x+3y= 1

Therefore the answer is A.
