( NEEDED ASAP! ) Capon City has 5 more than 3 times as many residents as Harbor City.

Create an algebraic expression to represent the number of residents in Capon City. Use r in your expression where r represents the number of residents in Harbor City

y=3r+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Break up the sentance.

Capon city has 5 more than 3 times as many residents as harbor city.

The sentance above can be written like this: y=5+3x. Since they want r to represent the number of people in Harbor city, use r in place of x.

Capon city=y

has=equal sign

5 more=+5

3 times as many=3r

y=3r+5

i can try and you the very best that i can.

let soccer = x and golf = y

part a

1st equation: x + y = 125

2nd equation: x = y +45

part b

replace x in the 1st equation with the 2nd one:

y + 45 + y = 125

simplify:

2y + 45 = 125

subtract 45 from each side:

2y = 80

divide both sides by 2:

y = 80/2

y = 40

she plays golf for 40 minutes.

part c

no because she plays soccer for 45 minutes longer than golf 40 +45 =   85 minutes, not 80 minutes.
