Assuming: number of coins Andrew has=a, number of coins Bob has=b, number of coins Casey has=c
Andrew has six fewer coins than Casey, so, c-6=a, or a+6=c
Bob has two more than twice as many coins as Andrew, so 2a+2=b
Together, there are 544 coins: a+b+c=544. Rewrite the equation in terms of a: a+(2a+2)+(a+6)=544. Combine like terms: 4a+8=544. Solve the equation: 4a=536, so a=134. If b=2a+2, then b=2(134)+2=268+2=270.
Bob has 270 coins.

Write a linear equation representing the information shown in the table.
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

This is how I write

y=kx+m

but I have seen some write it like this:

y=mx+b

Well both of them are the same thing, I'll use the first one because I'm more comfortable with it.

y=kx+m

To find out what k

k =  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

So you first need to choose two points.

I'll go for (0,-5) and (2,0)

k =  \frac{0 - 5}{2 - 0}

k = \frac{ - 5}{2}

Now you could insert k into the equation and it will look like this.

y =  \frac{ - 5}{2}x + m

To find out what m is just pick one point and insert it into the equation. So if I pick (0,-5). 0=X therefore it should be replaced by x and -5=y therefore it should also be replaced by y.

- 5 =  \frac{ - 5}{2} \times 0 + m

m=-5

Try it with another point to see if you get the same answer. this time I'll pick (-6,10)

10=  \frac{ - 5}{2} \times( - 6)+ m

m= -5

The equation will be y=-5/2x-5)

A person can do a job in 6 days. Another can do the same job in 4 days. If they work together, how long do they need to finish t
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

12/5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

if d=number of days

w=work completed

person one completes w=d/6 (ie. after 6 days (when d=6) work will be completed (w=1))

person two completes w=d/4 (ie. after 4 days (when d=4) work will be completed (w=1))

so total work competed together w=d/6 + d/4

the job is complete when w=1 so

1 = d/6 + d/4

12 = 2d + 3d

12 = 5d

d = 12/5
