Since the girl scout sold 5 more boxes on the second week, we have (x + 5) number of boxes sold for the second week. Now, for the third week, since it's double that of the second week, we have 2(x + 5). Thus, we have the following:

first week: x
second week: x + 5
third week: 2(x + 5)

Given that the total number of boxes sold for the three weeks is 431. We have

x + (x + 5) + 2(x + 5) = 431
x + x + 5 + 2x + 10 = 431
4x + 15 = 431
4x = 431 - 15
4x = 416
x = 104

We have now the value of x. Using this, we can find the values for the second and third week.
x + 5 = `104 + 5 = 109
2(x + 5) = 2(109) = 218

Answer: 
first week: 104
second week: 109
third week: 218

Graph the line with slope – 2 passing through the point (-5,5).
34kurt

Answer:

y = -2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x + b

- To find the y-intercept, plug the values of the variables.

5 = -2(-5) + b

5 = 10 + b

- Subtract 10 from both sides.

-5 = b
