HELP PLEASE! A Blue Jay wanted to store some acorns for the winter. If she hides 18 acorns per tree, she will be left with four acorns; if she hides 20 acorns per tree, there will be extra space for an additional four acorns (the number of trees is always the same). How many acorns is the Blue Jay going to store for the winter, and in how many trees?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

T = number of trees

A = number of acorns

Given:

A =  18T + 4 (1)

A = 20T -4 (2)

Equate A from (1) and (2)

20T-4 = 18T+4

simplify and solve for T

20T - 18T = 4+4

2T = 8

T = 4 trees

A = 18T + 4 = 72+4 = 76 acorns, or

A = 20T - 4 = 80 - 4 = 76 acorns.

rounding to the nearest thousandth would be 452,000

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.
