Ok so the first step is to -1 from both sides. On the right side it cancels out and on the left side it = -16. So now your left with -16= 8x. Your still not done yet though. So now what you want to do is divide both sides by 8. On the right side it cancels out and you bring down x and on the left side it equals -2. So x=-2. So to verify it you have to plu -2 back into the equation. So -15= 8 Times -2 +1 so 8 Times -2 = -16 plus one is -15. Hoped that helped!!

George plays basketball in a week long camp On day 2 he scored 8 points On day 4 he scored 12 points Explain how to measure his

Kay [80]

To measure George's rate of change, we first set out two pairs of independent and dependent data which in this case is the day number and the point

Independent Data: Day 2 Independent Data: Day 4
Dependent Data: 8 points Dependant Data: 12 points

Then we find the difference between the two independent values and the two dependent values

4 - 2 = 2
12 - 8 =4

To find the rate we use the following formula
the difference of dependent value ÷ the difference of independent value =
4 ÷ 2 = 2

Hence the average rate of change is an increase of 2 points a day
