<h3>Linear function:</h3>
A <em>linear function</em> is modeled by:

In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.
Jose:
- Initially, he was on page 10, hence
.
- He reads 17 pages per day, hence
.
- Hence, Jose's equation is:
.
Gavin:
- Initially, he was on page 37, hence
.
- He reads 14 pages per day, hence
.
- Hence, Gavin's equation is:
.
The day they will both be on the same page is x for which:

Hence:




They will be on the same page on the 9th day.

16v/6v=16/6=8/3
10/7=1 3/7
Answer: Correct two digit number= 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x= tens digit (wrong one)
and y= zeroes digit
and z= tens digit (right one)
Now according to the statement,
(10x+y)² - (10z+y)² = 2340
Simplifying this we get
(x-z)(5x+y+5z)= 117= 1 * 3 * 3 * 13
So it could either be
x-z=1 or x-z=3
If we take the x-z=1
then 5x+y+5z=117
which is not possible as maximum value we can get from this is 99.
This leaves us with x-z=3
so 5x+y+5z= 39
Put x=3+z
We get,
y+10z= 24
Now as y and z both are single digits so the only possible numbers to fit these are y=4 and z=2.
Put z=2 in x=3+z , we get x=5
So the numbers become 10x+y= 54
and 10z+y= 24
Their sum is 54+24=78
Check
54²-24²= 2340 so it is correct.

0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 15 pieces of the same size candy in the bag. Two are orange flavored, six cherry flavored. So the probability of picking an orange or a cherry flavored candy is 6/15+2/15=8/15≈0.5
