Answer:
Erich planted 7 seeds ...
he had to remove 17 plants ....
he expected to have less or equal 46 plants ...
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at keywords like remove ~ => which indicates that something is being subtracted
Since x represents seed packets, and the amount he planted is a number multiplied by x, we can deduce he planted 7 seeds ( 7 * x)
So if a person has 1/8 of a pitcher then you have 8 people per pitcher. Then if you have 5 pitchers you do 5 x 8 and get 40 so 40 people will be served. Hope this helps :)
The y-intercept should be closer to ten.
