y = m x + b
32 = 3 t + 11
21 = 3 t
t = 7

You are correct in all of your answers! Well done!
For the first question, the rate of change is indeed $2.78 per gallon. You can find this by looking at the cost per gallon mentioned in the problem.
In the second question, the specific quantity is 32 trees. This is the total number of trees the environmental group wants to plant.
In the third question, the value of the rate at which the equation is changing is x. This is because the equation 7x - 3 = 32 represents a relationship where x is the changing variable.
In the fourth question, the initial quantity is indeed 10. This can be found by isolating x in the equation 10x = 132.
Finally, in the fifth question, the equation that corresponds to the word problem is 22w + 58 = 280. This equation represents the relationship between the number of weeks (w) and the total number of pages written (280).
