137 - 16X = Y

Since Lorraine is picking blackberries in her backyard at a rate of 15 berries per minute, and after 16 minutes of picking, there are still 137 blackberries left to pick, to determine an equation that models how many berries are left (y) after x minutes of picking, the following calculation must be performed:

137 - 16X = Y

Thus, for example, after 5 minutes the calculation would be as follows:

  • 137 - 16 x 5 = Y
  • 137 - 80 = Y
  • 57 = Y

The difference of two numbers is 44 1 /2 . If the smaller of the two numbers increases 7 times then the difference will be 10 3/
pshichka [43]
Let’s call the numbers x and y. Let’s also say that x is the smaller of the two. Since their difference (the answer you get when you subtract is 44 and a half) we know that y-x=44.5

Next we are told that if the smaller increases 7 times (that means 7x) their difference would be 10 3/14. Let’s write that as a fraction. It is 14x10+3 over 14. That is 143/14.

So this means y-7x=143/14.

We have two equations and two unknowns (a system of equations). We write one over the other and subtract them to get:

y-x=44.5
y-7x=143/14

Subtracting yields:
(y-y)+(-x - - 7x) = 44.5 - 143/14
6x = (89/2) - (143/14)
6x= 623/14 - 143/14
6x=480/14
X= (480/14)(1/6)
X=80/14
x= 40/7 = 5 5/7

Since y-x=89/2
We get y - 40/7 = 89/2
Y = 40/7 + 89/2
Y = 80/14 + 623/14
Y = 703/14 = 50 3/14
