Use distrubutive property <em>a(b + c) = ab + ac</em>
6(5r - 4) - 2(r - 7s - 3)
= (6)(5r) + (6)(-4) + (-2)(r) + (-2)(-7s) + (-2)(-3)
= 30r - 24 - 2r + 14s + 6
= (30r - 2r) + 14s + (-24 + 6)
<h3>= 28r + 14s - 18</h3>
Answer:
The slope also increases
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a function is the ratio of change in y to change in x. For an exponential function f(x) = e^x, the slope of the function is equal to the function, i.e slope = e^x.
For a function represented by 
, this is an exponential function representing growth, the slope of is also 
, therefore as the value of x increases, the value of the slope also increases.
At x = 1, slope = 2^1 = 2, At x = 4, slope = 2^4 = 16.
First I would distribute the left part like so:
12x - 18 - (5x + 7)
Then I would distribute the right side like so: (I'm just distributing a negative sign)
12x - 18 - 5x - 7
Then I combine like terms like so: (12x and -5x)
7x - 18 - 7
Then I would combine the other like terms like so: (-18 and -7)
7x - 25
I hope that helps! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions! :3
