Bags collected by reggie and Courtney are 6, 9 respectively.

SOLUTION:

Given, Reggie and Courtney are picking up trash along the highway.  

Together they have collected 15 bags of trash.

Courtney has collected 3 more bags then Reggie.  

We have to find how many bags have they each collected?

Let the number bags collected by reggie be n, then number of bags collected by Courtney will be 15 – n.

Now, according to the given information,

Number of bags with Courtney = 3 + number of bags with reggie

15 – n = 3 + n

n + n = 15 – 3

2n = 12

n = 6

so, reggie collected 6 bags, then, Courtney collected 15 – 6 = 9 bags.

Hence, bags collected by reggie and Courtney are 6, 9 respectively

from the figure we get,

the x axis shows   the months and,

the y-axis shows the number of satisfied customer.

each line or each cell in upward direction (y-axis) shows 500.

the appropriate scale for the y - axis is: -

a = 2000 customers

b = 4000 customers

c = 6000 customers

d = 8000 customers

e = 10000 customers

f = 12000 customers

g = 14000 customers
