The answer is 1 bc the solution is (1,-3)
I believe 9. I divided 200 books among 24 boxes and got 8.3333..., so that means there would be 8 full boxes plus 1 not full boxes which means that there are 9 boxes total.
You can make an equation with this information using a variable for the number of days and solve for that variable. Here we can use d to represent days.
Ryan can build 4 desks in a day, so you could express his production as 4d.
Larry can build 4 desks in 2 days, so you could say he makes 2 desks in 1 day, expressed as 2d.
If Larry starts work one day before Ryan, he's made an extra 2 desks. To get 32 desks, you need to add together those 2 desks Larry made, however many desks Larry can make, and however many desks Ryan can make:
2 + 4d + 2d = 32.
Then just simplify and solve:
6d = 30
d = 5.
It'll take 5 days for them to make 32 desks. Hope this helps! Please rate this answer as brainliest if you liked it!! thank you!!!
