<span>A trend line shows the general pattern of the data, but does not try to connect all the data points is the correct choice about trend lines. It usually is the most general direction of the points.</span>

x * 2 - 4
Here is one way to solve for x.
Step 1) 2x^2-7=9
Step 2) 2x^2-7+7=9+7
Step 3) 2x^2=16
Step 4) (2x^2)/2=16/2
Step 5) x^2=8
Step 6) sqrt(x^2)=sqrt(8)
Step 7) |x|=sqrt(8)
Step 8) x=sqrt(8) or x=-sqrt(8)
-------------------------------------
Below are explanations/reasons to each of the steps above.
Step 1) Original equation
Step 2) Add 7 to both sides
Step 3) Combine like terms
Step 4) Divide both sides by 2
Step 5) Simplify
Step 6) Apply the square root to both sides. The notation "sqrt" is shorthand for "square root"
Step 7) Use the rule that sqrt(x^2) = |x| for all real numbers x
Step 8) Use the rule that if |x| = k then x = k or x = -k for some fixed number k.
-------------------------------------
The two solutions are
x = sqrt(8) or x = -sqrt(8)
Answer:
No. See explanation below.
Step-by-step explanation:
No.
Since 60 × $300 = $18,000, he would be exactly at budget if he needed 60 uniforms and if each uniform cost $300, but he needs more than 60 uniforms, and each uniform costs more than $315, so the total cost is definitely more than $18,000.
