“How much petrol is being poured each minute” is another way of saying slope. Slope is liters/minute, or rise over run.

It rises 140, and goes over 10.

140/10

= 14 liters per minute,

Answer:

x = 7/4 = 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello - so you don't seem to have shown what the calculator screen displays, however I can assume it will show a graph of the two lines, and their intersection point. The x-co-ordinate of this intersection point is the solution to the equation.

As I can't see the calculator, I will also show you how to work out the solution for x:

3x - 1 = 6 -x

4x -1 = 6

4x = 7

x = 7/4 = 1.75
