Answer: y = -4x + 60

Step-by-step explanation:

we can use a simple linear equation to write this problem:

y = mx + b

The slope is given to be the number of bulbs in each pack, which is 4.

now we have: y = 4x +b

The value of b is the y intercept, or the starting value, 60. From this value, 4x can be subtracted to show our remaining bulbs in stock:

y = 60 - 4x

Writing this in the form y = mx+b gives us the equation:

y = -4x + 60

Answer:

y = 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

A corner store sells 60-watt bulbs in pack of 4.

x = number of packs

y = number of bulbs

y = 4x

Check your answer using the problem:

60 = 4x

/4     /4

12 = x

This means that there are 12 bulbs in each pack.

Hope this helps!
