Question

Leslie purchased a new bar of soap. Three days after she originally used

the soap, she was curious how much soap per day she was using. She
decide to weigh her soap and that the bar was 103 grams. Four day later
she re-measured the same bar of sop and record a weight of 80 grams.
Assuming that Leslie uses the same amount of soap daily (and that she
used soap daily), write an equation that shows that amount of soap
remaining after d days of use. *Hint: slope intercept form and you will
need the slope formula

Answer 1

The equation is:

y= 103 --23d

Explanation:

The initial amount was 103 grams.

After one day of use the remaining amount of soap was 80 grams.

So the amount of time he spent in one day was:

Each day Leslie spends 23 grams of soap.

if d represents the number of days elapsed then, the amount of soap "y" that Leslie spends after days is:

y= 103 --23d
