shop opens - open shop time zero

you start working - open shop time is 2 hrs

2 hrs after you start - open shop time is 4 hrs - 11 cars done

3 hrs later - open shop time 7 hours - 14 cars done

From 4 hrs since the shop opened till 7 hours since the shop opened, you were working that entire time. 14 - 11 cars = 3 cars. 7 hours - 4 hours = 3 hours.

(3 cars)/(3 hours) = 1 car/hour

With you working, the rate is 1 car per hour.

You started working at the shop's 2 hours of operation. You worked until the shop's 7 hours of operation. You worked 7 hrs - 2 hrs = 5 hrs.

Since the rate of cars per hour while you work is 1 car/hour, then during the 5 hours you worked, 1 car/hour * 5 hours = 5 cars.

5 cars got done while you were working.

Since 14 cars got done in 7 hours, then 14 cars - 5 cars = 9 cars.

9 cars were done before you started.

The cars are getting their oil changed at a rate of 1 car per hour.

9 cars had their oil changed before you started work.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that you are scheduled to start your job at an oil change shop 2 hours after the shop opens. Two hours after you start, a total of 11 cars have had their oil changed since the shop opened. Three hours later, a total of 14 cars had have their oil changed.

We have two points on line (4,11) and (7,14). We will find the slope of line passing through these points.

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m=\frac{14-11}{7-4}$

$m=\frac{3}{3}$

m=1

Since slope of line is 1, therefore, the cars are getting their oil changed at a rate of 1 car per hour.

Since you 11 cars are oiled when you worked two hours and rate of oil changing is 1 car per hour, so you will change oil of two cars in two hours.

11-2=9

Therefore, 9 cars had their oil changed before you started work.
