The equation that fits is y=3x+1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1 <em>4(1) + 2 6</em>
3 <em>4(3) + 2 14</em>
6 <em>4(6) + 2 26</em>
0 <em>0 + 3 3</em>
2 <em>2 + 3 5</em>
4 <em>4 + 3 7</em>
<em>1 1 - 1 </em> 0
<em>3 3 - 1</em> 2
<em>5 5 - 1</em> 4
Number of books each of them have:
Jaime: x
Grant: x - 6
Ky: 3 (x - 6)
There are 176 books in total, so we can write it down as:
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 (x - 6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 * x + 3 * (-6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 2x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 5x - 24 / + 24 (both sides)
5x = 200 / ÷ 5 (both sides)
x = 40
Doublecheck:
Jamie: 40
Grant: 40 - 6 = 34
Ky: 3 (40 - 6) = 3 * 34 = 102
102 + 34 + 40 = 176, so it's correct :)
