The average rate of change of <em>g(x)</em> over the interval [2, 8] is given by
(<em>g</em> (8) - <em>g</em> (2)) / (8 - 2)
In other words, it's the slope of the line through the points (2, <em>g</em> (2)) and (8, <em>g</em> (8)).
Use the definition of the function to evaluate it at the points in the numerator:
• 8 ≥ 4, so using the second piece, <em>g</em> (8) = -0.5(8) + 8 = 4
• 2 < 4, so <em>g</em> (2) = 5(2) + 1 = 11
Then the average rate of change is
(<em>g</em> (8) - <em>g</em> (2)) / (8 - 2) = (4 - 11) / 6 = -7/6
In the attached diagram you can see Place Value Chart that is used to help understand the value of each digit based on the place or position.
For the number 756:
- 7 has a value of 7 hundreds, or 700;
- 5 has a value of 5 tens, or 50;
- 6 has a value of 6 ones, or 6.
Answer: 5 has a value of 5 tens, or 50
So you swap sides and you have 3x=93 and then you divide 3 by 93 and you get x=31
I have memorized facts about fractions like these, so can tell you ...

_____
A fraction with 9 as a denominator is a repeating 1-digit decimal with the decimal digit being the numerator of the fraction.
A fraction with 11 as a denominator is a repeating 2-digit decimal with the two digits being 9 times the numerator of the fraction.
1/8 = 0.125, so any multiple of 1/8 is that multiple of 0.125.
Suppose Alex has 3x stamps, Freddy has 5x stamps. After Freddy gives Alex 10 stamps, Alex has 3x+10 while Freddy has 5x-10
the new ratio is 7 to 9, so we have the equation: (3x+10)/(5x-10)=7/9
9(3x+10)=7(5x-10)
27x+90=35x-70
160=8x
x=20
So Alex has 3*20=60 stamps while Freddy has 5*20=100. Together they have 160
