Let W = number of white cars, and Y = number of yellow cars.
There were 9 times as many white cars as yellow cars. This means that the number of white cars was 9 times more than the number of yellow cars. This can be translated by the expression:
9Y = W
The person counted  40 cars in total:
W + Y = 40

So we get the system:
\left \{ {{W+Y=40} \atop {9Y=W}} \right.

In the first equation, we multiply by 9:
9W + 9Y = 360
In the second equation:
9Y= W
W-9Y = 0

Then we add the first with the second equation:
9W + 9Y + W - 9Y = 360
10 W = 360
W = 36

So He counted 36 white cars.

Hope this Helps! :)

??? Answer toys word problem

C.

6 is a constant, so we know that y is greater than or equal to 6.

x is just a variable, but it has to be positive, so it could be anything greater than or equal to 0.

Total flour = white flour + wheat flour, therefore y = x + 6.

11.Find the missing value given the rate of change.(2,6) and (x, 10) m = 4
Anvisha [2.4K]

The missing value x=3 is obtained by the concept of slope in coordinate geometry.

<h3>What is slope?</h3>

Positive or negative rates of change are both possible. Since the slope of a line is determined by the ratio of the vertical and horizontal change between any two locations on a plane or line, the slope is determined by the rise to run ratio. Where, Rise is the difference in elevation between two points. The horizontal shift between two places is known as a run.

Formula of slope = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} (equation 1)

According to the question the coordinates are: xi=2, x2=x, y1=6, y2=10

Given, rate of change=4 (here rate of change=slope)

Putting all coordinates in equation 1

Slope= \frac{10-6}{x-2}

4=4/x-2

x-2=1

x=3

Therefore, the missing value x=3
