If m represents the number of months Janet has been reading books, the equation 4m=(m-1) represents the situation where Alex and Janet have read the same number of books. Solve the equation to find the number of months it will take for Alex and Janet to have read the same number of books?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression that represents the situation where Alex and Janet have read the same number of books as

4m = m-1

where m represents the number of months Janet has been reading books,

To calculate m

STEP 1: subtract m from both sides

4m - m = -1

3m = -1

Step2; divide both sides by 3

3m/3 = -1/3

m = -1/3

Hence the value of m is -1/3

3.4 pizzas

step-by-step explanation:

given is a scatter plot showing number of pizzas sold during weeks for different issues of coupon

y represents number of pizzas sold and x number of coupons issued

y is marked verticaly and x horizontally

the trend line is given as

y =3.4x+43

this says that even when no coupon is issued pizzas sold will be 43

and rate of change of pizza sold for 1 unit of coupon = slope = 3.4

i.e. when x increases by 1 unit y increases by 3.4 units

hence for each additional coupon issued 3.4 pizzas more will be sold

this is not the answer this is just a question. is this middle school math?
