You should times each side by 3/2, so your answer is C.
1. The data is not linear. There's not a constant difference between the f(x) values. (AKA there's not a fixed slope between the data points)
2. The data is exponential, because there's a consistent ratio in the f(x) values:
189/567 = 1/3
63/189 = 1/3
21/63 = 1/3
7/21 = 1/3
Each new y-value (aka f(x)-value) is 1/3 the previous value.
Also, f(0)=567.
If we put that together, we have f(x) = 567 (1/3)^x.
2y is in the first equation so if you change 0.5x+y=17 to y=17-0.5x and then double it to 2y=34-x, you can substitute and find x. And then you can find out y.
How to find x:
0.5x+y=17
y=17-0.5x
2y=34-x
3x-2y=8
3x-34-x=8
<u>x=21</u>
How to find y (with previous info.)
x=21
3x-2y=8
3*21-2y=8
63-8=2y
55=2y
<u>27.5=y</u>
Answer:
-35/3
Step-by-step explanation:
-2(3x-2) + 3x + 3 = 34
-6x-4+3x+3=34
-3x-1=34
-3x=35
x=-35/3
Six because all can be divided by six
12/6=2
30/6=5
42/6=7
