Choice A is one of the answers. Nice work. This is because x+x+x turns into 3x.
Choice D is the other answer because 2(x+1) + x = 2x+2+x = 3x+2. You can find this through trial and error. Or you could graph y = x+x+x+2 and y = 2(x+1)+2 to find that they are the same exact identical diagonal line. A non-graph approach would be to set up a table of values to see that the two tables are identical.
D (7) should be the correct answer.
Answer:
+12.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
This is rather simple. Subtract 72 from 81, then put the difference over 72. Then, multiply that by 100.
(81 - 72)/72 * 100
<em>Subtract 72 from 81 to get 9</em>
9/72 * 100
<em>Multiply 9 by 100 to get 900</em>
900/72
<em>Simplify the above fraction by cancelling out 9.</em>
100/8
<em>Divide 100 by 8 to get 12.5%</em>
The percent of change is +12.5%

★ <u>Option (A) y = -5x</u> is the right answer.
