Let Home runs = X
Triples would be X-3 ( 3 less triples than home runs)
Doubles would be 3x ( 3 times as many doubles as home runs)
Singles would be 45(x-3) ( 45 times as many singles as triples)
Simplify the equation for singles to be 45x-153
Now you have X + x-3 + 3x + 4x-135 = 262
Simplify:
50x - 138 = 262
Add 138 to both sides:
50x = 400
Divide both sides by 50:
x = 400/50
x = 8
Home runs = x = 8
Triples = x-3 = 8-3 = 5
Doubles = 3x = 3(8) = 24
Singles = 45(x-3) = 45(8-3) = 45(5) = 225
The answer would be y=-13x+7

Answer:
Margret need to get 4 boxes of cookies.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total friends = 3
Cookies each friend will get = 8
Each box has cookies = 6 cookies
How many boxes does Margret need to get?
Total cookies will be= Total friends x Cookies each friend will get
Total cookies will be= 3 x 8 = 24
If one box has 6 cookies and we need total 24 cookies so, divide 24 by 6 to get number of boxes
Number of boxes = Total cookies/ number of cookies in one box
Number of boxes = 24/6
Number of boxes = 4
So, Margret need to get 4 boxes of cookies.
