Algebra 1~

two employees at a banquet facility are given the task of folding napkins. one person starts folding napkins at a rate of 5 napkins per minute. the second person starts 10 minutes after the first person and folds napkins at a rate of 4 napkins per minute.
a. let y be the number of napkins folded x minutes after the first person starts folding. write a linear system that models the situation.

I’ll help you out!

1. we know that Cara lost 4 less teeth than Kathleen, and the number of teeth Kathleen lost is represented by K. So, any equation that shows K-4=C will do.(feel free to use that equation)

2. this is essentially the same as the first equation, just reversed. So use + instead of -, and instead of ending up with =C you should end up with =K

You are still using the same plugs, C, 4 and K.

3. This is basic math. Cara lost 3 teeth, Kathleen lost 4 more than cara. So, 3+4=?
