50 POINTS!!!! urgent!!!!!!

Mary is collecting cup cakes for the school fair. She will make 12 cupcakes to start it off. She plans to collect 24 cupcakes each
day from her surrounding neighborhood for the next 3 days. If you model this word problem for Mary as y=mx+b then match the
corrects pairs.
a. 12
b. 84
c. 3
d. 24
1. m
2. y
3. x
4. b

Answer 1

Since the problem is about linear equation in the form of y = mx + b, initial number represents the value of b = 12, the number of days represents the value of x = 3, the daily collection of cupcakes represent the slope m = 24, then the value of y is:

• y = 24*3 + 12 = 72 + 12 = 84

So the matching pairs are:

• a ⇔ 4,
• b ⇔ 2,
• c ⇔ 3,
• d ⇔ 1 .
