Agroup of 485 people takes a canoe trip. they fill up all available canoes that each hld 3 people with 273 people. the rest of the group wiilll ride in canoes that each hold 2 people. how many canoes will the group need?

Number of people in the canoes which hold 2 people =

485 - 273 = 212 therefore there are 212 / 2 = 106 canoes holding 2 people.

The number of canoes holding 3 people = 273/3 = 91

Total number of canoes = 106 + 91

= 197  (answer)

Hope this helps

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
