During a 60-minute period, a traffic engineer counted 66 trucks and cars that crossed a bridge. The ratio of trucks to cars that travel across the bridge is usually 3:8. The equation 3 8 = t 66 − t 3 8 = t 66 − t can be used to predict the number of trucks, t, the engineer should have counted. How many trucks should the engineer have counted?

18

Step-by-step explanation:

t = Number of trucks counted

c = Number of cars

Ratio of trucks to cars =

Total number of cars and truck = 66

Divide the left and right side by the number of cars

Total number of cars is 48

so

Total number of trucks counted is 18.

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?
