while catching fireflies you and a friend decide to have a competition after m minutes you have 3m + 13 fireflies and your friend has 4 m + 6 fireflies how many fireflies are caught each minute during the competition

Hi there, AirConditioning,

The equation we will be using is linear, and takes the form y = slope*x+b, where slope is equivalent to the fireflies caught each minute.

y=total fireflies caught

You : y = 3m+13
Your Friend: ym+6

Fireflies caught each minute
You: 3
Your Friend: 4

3+4=7
A total of 7 fireflies each minute combined.
