I think the x represent puppy and the weight is the y
A. 25 = (.5 * 22) + (2 * x)
B. 25 = (.5 * 22) + (2 * x)
25 = 11 + 2x
14 = 2x
7 = x
C. 7
Yes she is correct..
the reason why is because if she gives her horse 2 apples a day for 10 days, she will have spent 20 apples.
and so to get the number of apples she has remaining after 10 days, just subtract 20 from 24:
24-20 = 4
and you get four. That means that after 10 days she will indeed have 4 apples left
Lines are described by equations of the form y = mx + b
The fast way of finding 'b' is to look for a place where x = 0 and plug in the x and y values into this equation. In the case of this line, when x = 0, y = 5:
5 = m(0) + b
5 = 0 + b
5 = b
To get the slope, 'm', we need to pick two points and divide the difference of their y values by the difference of their x values. Pick points where the line falls on the grid. The one we just used, (0,5), works well. So does (2,1).
Plug into the equation m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) to get m = (1-5)/(2-0) = -4/2 = -2
Our equation is y = -2x + 5
