This answer to your is 17
X2 - 2x + 9x - 18
X2 + 7x - 18
Ron has 22 cards
number one tip in math, try to create equation!
set number of cards Ron has as x (always set x as what you are looking for)
set number of cards Tori has as (x-9) because if Ron has 9 more cards than Tori that's same thing as saying Tori has 9 cards less than Ron
Number of cards Tori and Ron has need to equal 35
Therefore,
x + (x-9) = 35
Solve:
2x-9=35
bring over 9 to other side
2x=44
divide both sides by 2
x=22
So number of cards Ron has is 22
The slope is - 3/10
Y over x
