The rate of change is the slope of this line
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (13 - 5)/(4 - 0) = 8/4 = 2
The answer to the question is D
2n - 1 - -7n + 2 You combine like terms with subtracting
2n - 7n = -5n
-1 - 2 = -3
So -7n + 2 - 2n - 1 = -5n - 3
I got 16.8 , but she’ll need roughly 17 gallons of paint :)
how i did it :
1. so you know she’ll need 4/5 per book case, and there are 16 bookcases.
2. So you do 16 x 5, then you get 84
3. and you divide 84 by 5. and you’ll get 16.8, that’s how many gallons of paint she needs
