Mr. Lockwood likes to garden. In his garden, he has already 5 potatoes and he grows 2 more every year. He also already had 20 tomatoes to start with, but for some reason he loses 3 each year. When will he have the same amount of potatoes and tomatoes? How many of each will he have at the time he has the same amount? Write and equation to represent both vegetables.

potatoes: y=2x+5         tomatoes: y=(-3)+20

Explanation:

y=mx+b

m=slope

b=y-intercept

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b

i believe it’s 165 because if u add 137 and 58 u get 195 and then subtract that from 360 and there’s ur answer
