rex mixed x liters of fruit syrup with y liters of water to make a fruit punch. The number of liters of water he mixed was 6 more than twice the number of syrup he mixed. the total number of liters of syrup and water he mixed was 7 liters. Which graph best shows the number of liters of fruit syrup and water that rex made the fruit punch??

Question

anonymous · Answer

one moment I must get the graphs so you can see

anonymous · Answer

Start with making the equation. Can you do that? What do you get if you do?

anonymous · Answer

my first equation was y=6+2x, x+y=7

attachment

anonymous · Answer

Yes, that's what I got as well.
Now, do you know what either of those graphs would look like? 
Start with, in slope-intercept form (Y=mx + b) What is the slope and what is the intercept?

anonymous · Answer

the m is the slope

anonymous · Answer

which is 2

anonymous · Answer

and the other slope is 1?

anonymous · Answer

Right. So you'll know the slope of the line you're looking for, but do you know how to find the intercept, that's probably the easiest part for you to use to rule out your graphs first.

anonymous · Answer

the y intercept is 6?

anonymous · Answer

im not sure which graph will fit
