Sonja and Danica are updating every computer in their offices. The equation below represents the number of computers Sonja updates in x hours. y=3x The equation below represents the number of computers Danica updates in x hours. y=6x. Who updates computers at a faster rate?

Answer 1

To determine who updates computers at a faster rate, we need to compare the values of y for the given equations y = 3x and y = 6x.

For Sonja, the number of computers updated in x hours is given by y = 3x.

For Danica, the number of computers updated in x hours is given by y = 6x.

Comparing the coefficients of x in both equations, we can see that the coefficient of x in Danica's equation (6) is greater than the coefficient of x in Sonja's equation (3).

Therefore, Danica updates computers at a faster rate than Sonja.
