Let W = number of white cars, and Y = number of yellow cars.
There were 9 times as many white cars as yellow cars. This means that the number of white cars was 9 times more than the number of yellow cars. This can be translated by the expression:
9Y = W
The person counted 40 cars in total:
W + Y = 40
So we get the system:

In the first equation, we multiply by 9:
9W + 9Y = 360
In the second equation:
9Y= W
W-9Y = 0
Then we add the first with the second equation:
9W + 9Y + W - 9Y = 360
10 W = 360
W = 36
So He counted 36 white cars.
Hope this Helps! :)

Table (A) represents the parabola y = x² - 6x in which the parabola opens and the y-intercept is (0, 0) table (A) is the correct choice.
<h3>What is a parabola?</h3>
It is defined as the graph of a quadratic function that has something bowl-shaped.
We have the tables shown in the picture.
We know the quadratic form of a parabola is:
y = ax² + bx + c
If a > 0 the parabola opens
In the equation:
y = x² - 6x
1 > 0 the parabola opens and y-intercept is:
y = 0 (plug x = 0 in the given equation)
a = 1, b = -6, and c = 0
Thus, table (A) represents the parabola y = x² - 6x in which the parabola opens and the y-intercept is (0, 0) table (A) is the correct choice.
