20+4x=76 subtract 20 from both sides
4x=56 divide both sides by 4
x=14
So he was driving at 55+14=69 mph
Answer:
trees cost $15
Shrub cost $7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Rita paid $82 for 5 trees and 1 shrub
5x+y= 82---------1
Lilly bought 2 trees and 1 shrub for $37
2x+y= 37----------2
from 1
y= 82-5x
put the value of y in 2
2x+82-5x= 37
2x-5x= 37-82
-3x=-45
x= 45/3
x=$15
put the value of x in 1
5(x)+y= 82
5*15+y=82
75+y=82
y=82-75
y=$7
Hence, trees cost $15
Shrub cost $7
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The table shows a linear function.
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 7) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table
m =
= 4, thus
y = 4x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute any ordered pair into the partial equation
Using (1, 3), then
3 = 4 + c ⇒ c = 3 - 4 = - 1
y = 4x - 1 → C
