Question

PLZ HURRY!!!!!!!!! The table shows the number of candies packed by machine J. The equation shows the number of candies packed by machine K. In both representations, x is a measure of the number of minutes and y is a measure of the number of candies packed.

MACHINE J CANDY PACKING
x (minutes) y (candies)
3 90
6 180
9 270
12 360

Machine k: y=26x

How many more candies could machine J pack than machine k in 11 minutes

Answer 1

First, we need to make a function out of the table.  This function will be in slope-intercept form.  The function is y = 30x  so in 11 minutes Machine J will make 330 candies.  In 11 minutes Machine K will make 286.  subtract 286 from 330 to get 44.  Machine J will make 44 more candies than machine K in 11 minutes.
