I need 100% on this quiz!
The sum of two numbers is 44. The second number is 4 less than three times the first number. Let x represent the first number and let y represent the second number. If the table will be used to guess and check, what should the equation be at the top of the last column?

1. y=3-4x

2. y=4x-3

3. y=4-3x

4. y= 3x-4

(2,5)

Step-by-step

Since we are given

y

=

4

x

−

3

we can substitute this into the other equation and solve for x.

add 6 to both sides and simplify.

To solve for x, divide both sides by 5

⇒

x

We can now substitute x = 2 into y = 4x - 3 to find y.

x

Step-by-step explanation:

3 times the first number = 3x

4 less than 3 times the first number = 3x -4

y = 3x -4

the correct answer is you spend $55.78 more in a brand store that buy ing in a normal store.

step-by-step explanation:

brand = spend   $ 135.85 total

store = spend $80.07 total

slope is 35 and 20 miles is the y-intercept.
