Question

I don't understand how to do a certain equation i have no clue what its called

Answer 1

y =24 -x

Explanation:

Mr Ledger has 24 donuts and if he uses x donuts then the amount he will have left will be

`24-x`

and since we are calling this amount left y, we can say

`y=24-x`

which is our answer!

When Mr Ledger uses 18 donuts, the number left will be

`\begin{gathered} y=24-18, \\ y=6. \end{gathered}`

And when Mr Ledger uses 22 donuts, we will have left

`\begin{gathered} y=24-22, \\ y=2. \end{gathered}`

donuts.

The graph of the two points is given below.
