Y=mx+b is the equation you want to use
I can’t see it needs better lighting
x(3.4+4.6+2.2)
x(10.2)
Each hiker will carry 10.2 lbs
if there are x hikers they will carry 10.2*x lbs
Okay, to find length CE, your going to know the value of x. Length BC + CE = BD + DE.3x+47+x+26=27+x+10Simplify the equation to get4x+73=37+xyou can choose one of four ways to continue, but I will choose to subtract x3x+73=37Subtract 73 from both sides of the equal sign3x=-36divide by 3 on both sides of the equal sign to get the value of xx=-12Now, plug in -12 for x in length CE to get -12+26=14
