X is the short piece
(3•x-1)+x=31
4x=31+1
X=32/4=8

Short piece is 8
Long piece is 3•8-1=23

Check 8+23=31 ✔️

Can someone help me pls? I don't understand how to find x and y
coldgirl [10]
(Y+40)+(x+2y)=180
3y+x=140

2x+(y+20)=180
2x+y=160

Simultaneous equation
3y+x=140
Y+2x=160
Solve for y
Y=24
3(24)+x=140
X=140-72=68

Answer: choice C, y = 0.014x+0.85

==============================

Explanation:

Each column of the table represents an (x,y) pair of values

x = number of pages

y = cost

If we look at the first two columns, we see the two points (50,1.55) and (100,2.25). The x value is listed first. Let's compute the slope of the line through these two points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (2.25-1.55)/(100-50)

m = 0.7/50

m = 0.014

So far, we see the answer is between A,B or C as they have the slope of 0.014

Use this slope value, and one of the points -- say (x,y) = (50,1.55) -- to find the y intercept b

y = mx+b

y = 0.014x+b .... plug in the slope found earlier

1.55 = 0.014*50+b ... plug in the point (x,y) = (50,1.55)

1.55 = 0.7+b

1.55-0.7 = 0.7+b-0.7 ... subtract 0.7 from both sides

0.85 = b

b = 0.85

With m = 0.014 as the slope and b = 0.85 as the y intercept, we can say that y = mx+b turns into y = 0.014x+0.85. That narrows the answer down to choice C.
