Same thing as before!
First, we can get rid of d(x) simply by looking at it because we can tell it's linear (it's a straight line). If we look at the table, we can see a(x) is also linear because it has a steady rate of growth. b(x) and c(x) both represent exponential growth. The curved shape of b(x) shows us this is exponential growth, and the exponent in c(x) tells us it's also exponential.
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The 2 strokes through XM and MY indicate the segments are congruent, so
YM = MX , that is
8x - 24 = 3x + 1 ( subtract 3x from both sides )
5x - 24 = 1 ( add 24 to both sides )
5x = 25 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 5
Red I know because the smaller the number the bigger the fraction
