<span>you need to set up the equations solve for x or y. and substitute. I can give you the starting equations, but i cant find the answer and I don't remember how to do all the steps, but the first two equations (the ones you use to solve for x or y to use to solve for a number to subsitute. x-12=y y-14=3x and there should be one more for that they met two years ago.</span>
The empty jug weighs 0.75 lb
With the 3c, the total weighs 2.25 lb. That means:
3c + empty jug = 3c + 0.75 = 2.25
3c = 2.25 - 0.75
3c = 1.5
and 1c = 0.5 (so c is a constant -or the slope-)
Then the equation is:
y = 0.5x + 0.75
9x + 4 = 58
9x = 54
x = 6
The number is 6.
7/4 because you times 4 and 1.then add 3 and you get 7 so 7/4
