Let's solve this question by step by step.
Layout equation.
−104=−8(k+8)
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−104=−8(k+8)
−104=(−8)(k)+(−8)(8)(Distribute)
−104=−8k+−64
−104=−8k−64
Step 2: Flip the equation.
−8k−64=−104
Step 3: Add 64 to both sides.
−8k−64+64=−104+64
−8k=−40
Step 4: Divide both sides by -8.
-8k/-8=-40/-8
The answer for this problem is k=5.
The answer would be the last choice
Step-by-step:
Use slope formula to find the slope. (y - y)/(x - x)
Make sure the x and y in front of the minus is a pair that goes together, as well as the x and y behind the minus sign. So
8 - -4 goes on top, that's 12
0 - -1 goes under, thats 1
12/1 is the slope which is just 12. Use either point to fill in the second x and the second y in the point-slope equation. m is the slope.
y - y = m(x - x)
y - 8 = 12(x - 0)
y - 8 = 12x
So in 10 days the grasshopper (x) is doubled (2x)
20 days it is 2(2x) or 4x
30 days it is 2(4x) or 8x
in 35 days it is 1/2 of 10 so 1/2 times 2 times 8x=8x
it increased by a factor of 8
