Expand
simplify 36 - 4.5x + 36 to -4.5x + 72
simplify 102 - 7.5x - 60 to -7.5x + 42
add 7.5x to both sides
simplify -4.5x + 72 + 7.5x to 3x + 72
subtract 72 from both sides
simplify 42 - 72 to -30
divide both sides by 3
simplify 30/3 to 10
Answer: x = -10
No one can help you if you dont show us the work my dude. But the was to convert them is say you have 1/4 that is 25% of a whole. Sorry i couldnt help more repost the question with a link and people can help then.
Let [a, b] = the interval
The average rate of change can be found by using [f(b) - f(a)]/(b - a).
Let a = 1 and b = 5.
Let R = rate of change
17- x^2
R = [17 - 5^2] - [17 - 1^2]/(5 - 1)
R = [17 - 25] -[17 - 1]/4
R = [(-8) - (16)]/4
R = (-24)/4
R = -6
Done.

change

given you

making x the subject by transferring the -19 to the right hand side of the equation


dividing through by 5


{
}
also given

change the operation sign to =



dividing through by -4


so the truth set is
{x:x>9/4}.
The < sign changes to > because we divided by a negative number when solving for x
