20. A ship takes 18 days to reach its designated part. It starts with food for its crew of 450 men at the rate of 720gm per day per head. After 11 days of its journey they
rescued 180 passangers from a sinking ship. While rescuing the captain noticed a technical
problem in the ship's engine, and estimated the ship would reach the destination after 9
days. How much food should they now consume per day per head so that it lasts for the
rest of the journey.
​

were is the equation

step-by-step explanation:

system of linear equation

step-by-step explanation:

as given in the data

a= 20 , b= -12

let us suppose that it is a straight line equation

now we know the formula for the system of linear equation

b= ma + c )

here m is slope of a straight line which is equal to formula

m=   (ii)

and here c is a constant

now putting the value of a and b in equation (ii)

m=

m=

putting the value of a,b and m in equation (i) gives us

-12 = + c

-12=-12 + c

adding 12 to both sides

-12 +12 = -12 +12 +c

0 =c

or c=0

as the value of the constant is zero which gives us that it is a linear equation and this order pair satisfies the system of linear equations.

263.5

step-by-step explanation:
