Answer:
a = =36
Step-by-step explanation:

a = =36
Let x be equal to the number of drinks Yasmine consumed.
Jose had 2 times that drink so his number of consumed drink would be represented by 2x.
Sally had 3 fewer drink than Jose so her number of consumed drinks would be represented by 2x-3.
Altogether, the three of them consumed 72 drinks so your equation would be:
x+2x+(2x-3)=72
add like terms together:
5x-3=72
have the term with x be alone on one side of the equation, in this case by adding three to both sides:
5x=75
now divide both sides by five for the value of x and your answer is.....
x=15
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of chapters read = y
Number of days spent to read = x
Slope of the line = 
≈ 1.25
y-intercept = 2
Slope means "number of pages read per day"
For slope = 1.25 means "1.25 pages read per day"
y-intercept means "Number of pages read initially"
y-intercept = 2 means "2 pages have been already read"
