Answer:

17 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that cup C holds x pencils. In this case, cup A holds x + 1 pencils, and cup B holds x + 2 pencils. We know that all of the cups together hold 48 pencils. If we add what we got together, we would get x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 48. 2x + 1 + x + 2 = 48. 2x + x + 1 + 2 = 48. 3x + 1 + 2 = 48. 3x + 3 = 48. 3x = 48 - 3. 3x = 45. x = 45 / 3. x = 15. Now, we know that cup C holds 15 pencils, and from here, we can find the number of pencils in cup B by adding 2 to 15 and getting 17, and that would be your answer.

Tell me if I'm wrong :)

Write the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that has a slope of 2 and passes through the point (1,3 ).
Serga [27]
Slope intercept form is y = mx+b

where m is the slope
and b is the y-intercept

they give us that the slope is 2
so our m = 2

then to find b , we temporarily plug in the point they gave us for x and y

so  3 = 2(1) + b
and solve for b
3 = 2 + b
1 = b
so our b = 1

put this together and we get
y = 2x + 1 as our answer
