First, square both sides (d.) leaving 3x + 1 = 16
Second, subtract 1 from both sides (a.) leaving 3x = 15
Third, divide by 3 from both sides (e.) leaving x = 5
Answer: First D, then A, then E
Blank 1: If y is -5 when x is 2, that means the equation here is y = -2.5x. So, if x is 8, that makes the equation y = -2.5(8), which gives you -20.
Blank 2: If y is 3 when x is 1, the equation will be y = 3x. If x is 2, that will give you y = 3(2), which is 6.
Blank 3: If y is -7 when x is -21, the equation will be x = 3y. If y is 9, that will give you x = 3(9), which is 27.
Blank 4: If y is 5 when x is 4, the equation will be y = 1.25x. If y is 18, that makes the equation 18 = 1.25x, which is 14.4.
I hope this all helped!
C bc i am a professor at Yale and it is simplistic............................................................... <span />
Answer:a
Step-by-step explanation:
the first two professors did not know if everyone wanted coffee because the third professor had to choose yes or no if he wanted coffee. the first two professors were waiting for the third to say something, and when he said no, they knew he did not want coffee. if one of the first two professors said no, the answer would be no.
