The number of quarts of berries Charlie picked is C
the number of quarts of berries Noel picked is N
since they picked a total of 92 quarts, C+N=92
Since Charlie picked 6 more quarts than Noel, C-N=6
add the 2 equations
C+N+C-N=2C=98
C=49
N=92-49=43
Noel picked 43 quarts.
Answer:
y = 7x - 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 3)
m =
=
= 7, thus
y = 7x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (2, 4), then
4 = 14 + c ⇒ c = 4 - 14 = - 10
y = 7x - 10 ← equation of line
Answer:
7/2 =x
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are similar so we can write a ratio to solve
2 4
---- = -------
x 7
Using cross products
2*7 = 4x
14 = 4x
14/4 = 4x/4
7/2 =x
