Charlie and Leo were playing with toy cars. Charlie said to Leo that if you give me one car, then i will have twice as many cars as you have. Leo said if charlie gives him a car, they will be equal. How many cars does each boy have? HELP IN PLAYING A BATTLESHIP GAME

Step-by-step explanation:

C + 1 = 2(L-1)

C +1= 2L -2

C- 2L = -3 (eq.1)

L+1 = C-1

C- L = 2 (eq.2)

by elimination :

C - 2L = -3

C - L = 2

-

- L = -5

L = 5

C = 2+5 = 7

so, Leo has 5 cars and Charlie has 7 cars

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
