The first thing you must do is to calculate the weight of the gravel (w) that the truck holds (7.5 yards³). So, you have:
If the weight of 1 yard³ is 1.48 tons, then the weight of 7.5 yards³ is:
w=7.5x1.48 tons
w=11.1 tons
The problem says that the gravel will be placed in containers that each hold 3.7 tons of gravel,so, If they need 1 cotainer to place 3.7 tons, how many containers they need to place 11.1 tons?
1 container-------3.7 tons of gravel
x-------11.1 tons of gravel
x=(11.1x1)/3.7
x=11.1/3.7
x=3 containers
H<span>ow many containers of this size are needed to hold all the gravel from one truck?

The answer is: 3 containers.
I think you can find it graphically by points through a table you create like:
let x = 0, and find the value of y
for example for the first equation when we let x = 0 you find y = 6 and be in the form of (0,6) then draw them or you can let x = -2 or -3 , etc as you like
to be more accurate you can find 3 pionts and start graphing them
these two equations are straight lines and they will intersect in a point
Answer:
How does it need solved? By graphing? Substitution?
