Answer:
I think the answer is B 23,345
Step-by-step explanation:
x=y+9
substitute
3(y+9)+8y=-6
3y+27+8y= -6
13y = -6 -27
13y= -33
y = -33/13
x = -33/13 + 9
Answer: The first day the author reaches 100 days is on day 16.
To solve this problem, you could use a graphing calculator to graph the given equation. Then, determine when this line crosses 100. It crosses when x = 15.539. Therefore, we would have to round up to 16 so it is at least 100.
You could use the quadratic equation to solve: 100 = x^2 -12x + 45
Either you will get 16. If you use the quadratic formula, make sure to only use the positive answer.
