Using the linear equation, T = 20x + 31, the total number of computers at the end of 2005 is: C. 191.
<h3>How to Use a Linear Equation?</h3>
A linear equation is expressed as y = mx + b, where x is a function of y, m is the rate of change and b is the y-intercept or starting value.
In the scenario stated, we are given the linear equation for total number of laptop computers at the school after 1997 as, T = 20x + 31.
Rate of change = 20
y-intercept/starting value = 31
x = 2005 - 1997 = 8
To find the total number of laptop computers at Grove High School at the end of 2005 (T), substitute x = 8 into the equation, T = 20x + 31.
T = 20(8) + 31
T = 160 + 31
T = 191 computers.
Thus, total number of computers at the end of 2005 is: C. 191.

Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation:
Both distributions are symmetric, but oysters tend to have more volume than mussels
We have to assume that the speed before being stuck was sufficient to get to the destination on time had there been no delay. Call that speed "s" in km/h.
Since 200 km is "halfway", the total distance must be 400 km.
time = distance / speed
total time = (time for first half) + (delay) + (time for second half)
400/s = 200/s + 1 + 200/(s+10) . . . .times are in hours, distances in km
200/s = 1 + 200/(s+10) . . . . . . . . . . subtract 200/s
200(s+10) = s(s+10) +200s . . . . . . .multiply by s(s+10)
0 = s² +10s - 2000 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract the left side
(s+50)(s-40) = 0
Solutions are s = -50, s = 40
The speed of the bus before the traffic holdup was 40 km/h.
