Answer:
White roses - 7
Red roses - 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up proportional equations
White roses = x
Red roses = 3x - 4
Set equal to 24
x + 3x - 4 = 24
4x - 4 = 24
4x = 28
x = 7
x is white roses, so there are 7
Plug x value into red rose equation
3(7)-4
21-4 = 17 red roses
Check
17+7 = 24
The y-intercept of the graph shows that at m = 0, c = 15. We can see a constant slope that causes the graph to pass through m = 20, c = 20, as well as m = 40, c = 25. This shows a constant increase of $5/20 minutes, or a slope of 5/20 = 1/4. Based on slope-intercept form y = mx+b, the equation would be c = (1/4)m+15, from 0 <= m <= 44,640. This is the second of the given choices.
