I picked up 15 shells and my brother picked up 3 more shells than I did. How many shells did my brother pick up?

Let you = y
Let your brother = b

y = 15
b = y + 3

Plug in 15 for y

b = 15 + 3
b = 18

Your brother picked up 18 shells.

Hope this helps

Let's put this into an equation.
You picked up 15. So that means you=15.
You brother = X
He picked up three more than you. Since you=15, the equation would look like:
15+3=X
Now add so that there is one number.
15+3=18=X
So, your brother picked up 18 shells.
Tell me if this helps!!!

A line has an undefined slope and includes the points (n, - 5) and (4,1). What is the value of n?

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

n=4

Step-by-step explanation:

To get an undefined slope, the denominator has to be zero

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

This means that x2-x1 = 0

or x2=x1

So 4=n

Aaron tracks the time it takes him to mow lawns by writing coordinate points relating x, the time in hours it takes to mow a law

NARA [144]

Answer:

Slope of this line is given by:

<em>Aaron’s rate for mowing lawns is 0.5 acres per hour</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that time is tracked by Aaron related to x coordinate.

and the area of land mowed in acres is related to y coordinate.

Two of his points are given as:

(3, 1.5) and (5,2.5)

We know that the coordinates are represented in the form of (x,y)

i.e. first coordinate represents x coordinate and

second coordinate represents y coordinate.

So, it can be observed that:

$x_1=3, y_1=1.5\\x_2=5, y_2=2.5$

Change in x coordinate = $x_2-x_1=5-3 = 2$

i.e. total time taken is 2 hours.

Change in y coordinate = $y_2-y_1=2.5-1.5 = 1$

i.e. total land mowed taken is 1 acre.

In other words, <em>it takes 2 hours for Aaron to mow 1 acre of land.</em>

So, "option 1) It takes Aaron about 1 hour to mow 2 acres." is incorrect.

<u>Rate of mowing</u> lawn is the <em>land mowed by Aaron in 1 hour</em>.

Land mowed in 2 hours = 1 acre

Land mowed in 1 hours = $\frac{1}{2}$ acre i.e. 0.5 acre

Also, slope of a line is given as:

$m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Here $y_2 - y_1 = 1$

$x_2 - x_1 = 2$

As per formula:

$m = \dfrac{1}{2} = 0.5$

So, option 2) Aaron’s rate for mowing lawns is 0.5 acres per hour.
