Vera owns 17 pairs of socks how many socks does have in all

We know that 2 socks are in a pair. Hence, the rate would be like this: 2 socks/pair. We could also represent it as a ratio and fraction. I will choose the fraction form.

             x 17

2 socks   =    34 socks

1 pair    x 17   17 pairs

Therefore, if Vera owns 17 pairs of socks, she will have 34 socks in total.

the slope of the first function is -3. (3/1)

the slope of the second function is 1. (13-10/6-3).

since |-3| is greater than |1|, the function with the steepest slope is the first.

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
