Answer:

Michael 24

Noor 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio is 4:7

The initial quatity is 4x and 7x

After giving 3 shares the quatities are

4x - 3 and 7x + 3

Set equal to the new ratio

(4x - 3) / (7x + 3) = 7 / 15

Cross multiply

15(4x - 3) = 7(7x + 3)

Distribute

60x - 45 = 49x + 21

Add 45 to both sides

60x = 49x + 66

Subtract 49x from both sides

11x = 66

Divide both sides by 11

x = 6

Therefor

4x = 4*6 = 24 <–––– Michael's initial quantity

7x = 7*6 = 42 <–––– Noor's initial quantity

.

The y-intercept is

−

10

.

Explanation:

5

x

y

=

30

is the standard form for a linear equation. The slope-intercept form is

y

=

m

x

+

b

, where

m

is the slope, and

b

is the y-intercept. To convert from standard form to slope-intercept form, solve the standard form for

y

.

3

y

=

Subtract

5

x

from both sides of the equation.
