Akira is setting tables at the restaurant where she works. She starts with a pile of 85 napkins, and she places 6 napkins on every table she sets. Write an equation that shows how the number of napkins remaining, y, depends on the number of tables Akira sets, x. y=

3 answers

To determine the relationship between the number of napkins remaining (y) and the number of tables Akira sets (x), we can start with the total number of napkins and account for the number of napkins used per table.

  1. Akira starts with 85 napkins.
  2. She uses 6 napkins for each table she sets.

The equation that shows how the number of napkins remaining (y) depends on the number of tables (x) can be expressed as follows:

\[ y = 85 - 6x \]

Where:

  • \(y\) is the number of napkins remaining,
  • \(x\) is the number of tables Akira sets,
  • \(85\) is the initial number of napkins,
  • \(6x\) is the total number of napkins used for \(x\) tables.
what the hell is the anwser?

The equation that shows how the number of remaining napkins (y) depends on the number of tables (x) Akira sets is:

\[ y = 85 - 6x \]

This means if you set \(x\) tables, you will have \(y\) napkins left. If you need further clarification or help, feel free to ask!
