John won 72 pieces of gum playing hoops at the
county fair. At school he
gave four to every student
in his math class. He only
has 4 remaining. How
many students are in his
class?

Step-by-step explanation:

72 pcs gum - 4 remaining = 68 pcs of gum, 68 divided by 4

Divide 68 (amount of gumballs passed out to every student in Johns math class) by 4 (amount John gave to each student in his math class) = 17 Students in John math class Or 18 students when you include John.

answer: it is 1: 47 pm

(0,-3) see attached graph

step-by-step explanation:

a. to solve the system, graph the two equations.

x = y+3 becomes y=x-3 has m=1/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move up 1 unit and 1 unit to the right. plot a point and connect.

y=-4x+3 has m =-4/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move down four units and to the right 1 unit. plot a point and connect.

the solution is the point (x,y) where the two lines intersect. by the graph below it is (0,-3).

b. to solve by substitution, substitute y = -4x-3 into x= y+3

x= (-4x-3) +3

x=-4x

5x=0

x=0

now substitute x = 0 back in to find y.

y= -4(0)-3

y=0-3

y=-3

solution is (0,-3)

c. use elimination by adding the equations together.

x-y=3

4x+y=-3

5x=0

x=0

then substitute into one equation to find y.

y=-4(0)-3

y=-3
