Have you tried multiplying 5(3)+2(2)+1?
15 + 4 + 1 = 20 ?
Im sorry I'm not real good with math.
The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables:
p = total number of paperclips
x = paper clips added by carmen.
The equation that models this situation is:
p = x + 37
Answer:
An equation that models the total number of paperclips in the box is:
p = x + 37
A. Slope = 2
b. Slope = 2/3 or 0.66
(Slope = change in y / change in x)
