<span> (38/2) x 3 1/2 or (114/6) x 3 1/2=66.5
so your answer is 66.5</span>
The correct answer is letter A
The correct answer is: [B]: "4 " .
______________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________
Refer to the table (provided within the actual question).
Note that the "inputs" ; or "x-values" ; are all listed in "chronological order" ; and are all "one (1) unit apart. and range from: "x = -3" to "x = 3" .
When "x = 0" ; the "output" ; or "f(x)" is "1/4" .
When "x = 1" ; the "output" ; or "f(x)" is: "1" .
_________________________________________________
So; the ratio of these two "outputs" is: "¼ : 1" ; or, write as:
" (¼) / 1 " ; and note that: " (¼) / 1 = (¼) ÷ 1 = ¼.
However; note that: "1/4" ; or "1:4" is NOT among the [answer choices given].
However, the ratio of the 2 (two) corresponding "outputs"; chronologically,
going from when "x = 1" ; to "x = 0" ; is: "1 : ¼" ; or; write as: "1 / (¼)" ;
And note that: "1 / (¼)" = " 1 ÷ (¼) " = 1 * (4/1) = 1 * 4 = "4" .
This corresponds to: Answer choice: [B]: "4<span>" .

Let us further confirm that this answer is correct:
_________________________________________________
When x = 3; the "output" is: "16" .
When x = 2; the "output" is: "4" .
The ratio: "16/4 = ? 4 ? " ; → Yes!
_________________________________________________
When x = 2; the "output" is: "4" .
When x = 1; the "output" is: "1" .
The ratio: "4/1 = ? 4 ? " ; → Yes!
_________________________________________________
When x = 1; the "output" is: "1" .
When x = 0; the "output" is: "(¼)" .
The ratio: "1 / (¼) = ? 4 ? " ;
→ "1 / (¼)" = " 1 ÷ (¼) " = 1 * (4/1) = 1 * 4 = "4" . YES!
________________________________________________
When x = 0; the "output" is: "(¼)" .
When x = -1; the "output" is: "(¹/₁₆)" .
The ratio: "(¼) / (¹/₁₆) = ? 4 " ? ;
→ "(¼) / (¹/₁₆) = "(¼) ÷ (¹/₁₆) " = "(¼) * (¹⁶/₁) = (1*16) / (4*1) = 16/4 = "4" . Yes!
________________________________________________________
When x = -1; the "output" is: "(¹/₁₆)" .
When x = -2; the "output" is: "(¹/₆₄)" .
The ratio: "(¹/₁₆) / (¹/₆₄) = ? 4 " ? ;
→ "(¹/₁₆) / (¹/₆₄) = "(¹/₁₆) ÷ (¹/₆₄)" = "(¹/₁₆) * (⁶⁴/₁)" = (1*64) / (16*1) = 64/16 = "4" . Yes!
__________________________________________________________
When x = -2; the "output" is: "(¹/₆₄)" .
When x = -3; the "output" is: "(¹/₂₅₆)" ,
The ratio: "(¹/₆₄)/(¹/₂₅₆) = ? 4 " ? ;
→ "(¹/₆₄) / (¹/₂₅₆)" ;
= " (¹/₆₄) ÷ (¹/₂₅₆)" = " (¹/₆₄) * (²⁵⁶/₁) " = (1*256) / (64*1) = 256/164 = "4 " . Yes!
__________________________________________________________
→ So; as calculated; the ratio is: "4" ; which is:
__________________________________________________________
→ Answer choice: [B]: "4" .

<span>Simplifying
9x + -2y = 19
Solving
9x + -2y = 19
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '2y' to each side of the equation.
9x + -2y + 2y = 19 + 2y
Combine like terms: -2y + 2y = 0
9x + 0 = 19 + 2y
9x = 19 + 2y
Divide each side by '9'.
x = 2.111111111 + 0.2222222222y
Simplifying
x = 2.111111111 + 0.2222222222y</span>
