Answer:
The small box contains 21 cans
<em></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent the small box with S and the large with L.
For Estelle:

For the boy:

Required
Determine the cans in the small box
--- (1)
--- (2)
Divide (2) through by 4

Make L the subject

Substitute 46 - S for L in (1)


Open bracket

Divide both sides by 2

<em>Hence, the small box contains 21 cans</em>
This question was once asked before so I will put it here.
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "x = 2; a = 5; b = 3" A 5 inch tall bamboo shoot doubles in height every 3 days. If the equation y=ab^x, where x is the number of doubling periods, represents the height of the bamboo shoot.
X+4+3x =
4x+4 (you sum the like terms )
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -5x - 17
in y = mx + b form, the y int is in the m position
y = mx + b
y = -5x - 17......so the y int (b) = -17 or (0,-17) <=== y intercept
u can also find the y intercept by subbing in 0 for x and solving for y
u can find the x intercept by subbing in 0 for y and solving for x
y = -5x - 17
0 = -5x - 17
5x = -17
x = -17/5......so the x intercept is -17/5 or (0,-17/5) <==== x intercept
