Pearl inherited a collection of pottery that contained 37 pieces, and she has added 7 pieces of pottery to her collection each month since then. In the equation below, x represents the time since Pearl inherited the collection, and y represents the number of pieces now in her collection. y

Answer 1

Pearl has been adding pieces to her pottery collection for 11 months. Substitute x = 11 into the given equation, and solve for y.

y = 6(11) + 35

= 66 + 35

= 101

Therefore, Pearl has 101 pieces of pottery in her collection.

107.

Explanation:

Please consider the complete question:

Pearl inherited a collection of pottery that contained 37 pieces, and she had added 7 pieces of pottery to her collection each month since then. In the equation below, x represents the time since pearl inherited the collection, and y represents the number of pieces now in her collection
`y=7x+37`. If she has been adding pottery pieces to her collection for 10 months, how many pieces are now in her collection?

To solve our given question, we need to substitute
`x=10` in our given equation and solve for y as:

`y= 7(10)+37`

`y=70+37`

`y=107`

Therefore, there would be 107 pottery pieces in Pearl's collection after 10 months.
