The answer is 8 marbles. 6*8=48. 48(ednas marbles) + 8(sam's marbles)=56.

Answer: Sam 25 marbles.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Sam and Edna have 56 marbles together and Edna has 6 times more marbles than Sam.

We are to find the number of marbles that Sam has.

Let x and y represents the number of marbles that Sam and Edna has respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$x+y=56\\\\\Rightarrow y=56-x~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

and

$y=x+6\\\\\Rightarrow 56-x=x+6\\\\\Rightarrow 2x=50\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{50}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow x=25.$

Thus, Sam has 25 marbles.

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

$(y-135)=45(x-3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the number of hours and y represents the number of miles.

We are told that Luz drives at an average speed of 45 miles per hour. She has driven for 3 hours and has traveled a distance of 135 miles.

We can see from our given information that slope of line is 45 as with each increase in number of hours (x), change in distance (y) is 45.

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m=\frac{135-0}{3-0}$

$m=\frac{135}{3}$

$m=45$

Since the equation of line in point-slope form is : $(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)$ , where m represents slope of line and $(y_1,x_1)$ represents a point the line passes through.

Upon substituting our given values in point-slope form of equation we will get,

$(y-135)=45(x-3)$

Therefore, the equation represented in point-slope form will be: $(y-135)=45(x-3)$ .
