Rewrite the equation into slope intercept form:
8y = -5x+16
divide everything by 8 to get just y
y = -5/8x+2
the slope = -5/8
Can u show us a pic of the question
Answer:
MAYA (6 minutes)
Amy (7 minutes)
Step-by-step explanation:
MAYA
Takes Maya 30 minutes to solve 5 Puzzle:
Let's express it as,
30 mins = 5 Puzzle
1 min = x Puzzle
Cross multiply to solve for the number of questions Maya solves in a minute.
It becomes:
30*x = 5*1
30x = 5
x = 30/5
x = 6mins.
It means it takes Maya 6 mins to solve one question.
FOR AMY
Takes Amy 28 mins to solve 4 puzzles.
Let's represent it as:
28 mins = 4 Puzzles
x min = 1 puzzle
Let's solve for x
(28 mins) * (1 puzzle) = 4 * x
28 = 4x
x = 28/4
x = 7 mins
It means, it takes Amy 7 minutes to solve 1 puzzle
