So you would distribute what's in the parenthesis and end up with 4x-2x-6=x+1, then you combine like terms and end up with 2x-6=x+1, now you can add 6 to both sides or subtract 1 both sides (basically anything goes for this step just make sure you apply the same thing on both sides) so I'll add 6 and continue just to show you... then you end up with 2x=x+7 then you subtract 1x on both sides to get x=7. sorry it's a lot hopefully you get it know!
The answer is c because when you do 5 anything on n you get y
You basically have to find the slope, to find the average rate of change, because finding the slope and finding the average rate of change is basically the same thing.
Here's the formula :

So here, all you'd have to do is simply pick two points, and insert them into this formula. Say you take the points (-2, -2) and (0,-3). You would start from the y-intercept of the second point, and insert them all into the formula.
which would turn into
. And so since you want a good, stable number, and not just a fraction, you would divide -1 and 2, and the average rate of change would be
-0.50.
AVERAGE RATE OF CHANGE :
-0.50
