If she got 9 messages last week and 3rimes as much this week then she got 27 messages because 9x3=27
Molly's equation
15x + 10 = 100
-10 -10
15x=90
/15 /15
x=6
Maddie's equation
15x - 10 = 100
+10 +10
15x=110
/15 /15
x=7 1/3
MADDIE IS RIGHT
this is because she said 7 ans=d you cannot buy 1/3 of a shirt.
give the guy under me the 5 stare and a thanks this is his answer
If there were only sandwiches bought, there would be 15, if there were only salads bought there would be 20. There’s probably more than one possibility, but that’s the best I can do, considering how long it’s been since I’ve done this type of problem. I’m all the way to learning determinants, so I really have to think to remember these. Sorry in advance if this doesn’t help at all, I’m not the best at this, but I can still try.

Explanation:
Write the standard form of the line that goes through
(
3
,
1
)
and is perpendicular to
y
=
−
2
3
x
+
4
.
The equation
y
=
−
2
3
x
+
4
is in slope intercept form
y
=
m
x
+
b
where
m
= slope and
b
= the
y
intercept.
The slope of this line is then
m
=
−
2
3
A perpendicular slope is the opposite sign reciprocal. So, we change the sign of
−
2
3
and switch the numerator and denominator.
Perpendicular slope
m
=
3

To find the equation of the new line, use the point slope equation
y
−
y

=
m
(
x
−
x

)
where
m
=
slope and
(
x
1
,
y

)
is a point.
The slope is
3

and the point is the given point
(

)
.
