Answer:
C) y = 2x + 7; y = 2x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The two lines are parallel and so will have the same slope.
From the graph, the slope of both lines are two.
Using slope intercept formula, y=mx+c, with m=2, we have y=2x+c
The blue line has a y-intercept of 2 so the equation is
The red line has a y-intercept of -7 so the equation is
Hence the system is
y=2x+2
y=2x-7
The correct answer is C
"Jake can mulch a garden in 30 minutes." So, for 1 min Jake can mulch 1/30 part of a garden.
Ross can mulch the park for x minutes. So, for 1 min Jake can mulch 1/x part of a garden.
If they work together, for 1 min they will mulch (1/30 + 1/x) part of the garden.
At the same time, we know, that of they work together they can mulch the garden in 16 min, so for 1 min they will mulch 1/16 part of the garden.
Now, we can write an equation
x≈34.3 (min)
