3 answers

a) Joelle has y = 4x + 18

b) Lewis has y = 3x + 30

c) After how many weeks will Joelle and Lewis have the same number of rocks in their collections? Response area weeks

d) How many rocks will Joelle and Lewis have when the amount of rocks in their collection is equal? They will each have Response area rocks in their collection.
wwhat is c and d
c) To determine how many weeks it will take for Joelle and Lewis to have the same number of rocks in their collections, we need to set their equations equal to each other and solve for x:

4x + 18 = 3x + 30

d) To find out how many rocks they will each have in their collection when the amount is equal, we can substitute the value of x into either equation. Let's use Joelle's equation:

y = 4x + 18

Substitute the value of x found in part c
y = 4(week number) + 18

They will each have Response area rocks in their collections.
