Shelly and Terrence completed a different number of tasks in a game. Shelly earned 90 points on each task. Terrence's total poin

ts were 20 less than Shelly's total. The expression below shows Terrence's total points in the game: 90x − 20 What does the factor x of the first term of the expression represent?

I'm thinking maybe x is supposed to represent the number of tasks completed because it states Shelly earned 90 points on each task.  Then when put together it may look like this, let's say there are 4 tasks= Ex.90 times the 4 tasks minus 20 points which would total the points Terrence's has earned. So i believe x is the total tasks. Hope I didn't make it confusing...

X is the number of tasks

It says Shelly earned 90 points on each task. So the equation shows Shelly getting 90 points times the number of tasks (x) that she did. Then they simply subtract 20 from the total to get Terrence's total amount of points.

In 2004, a magazine's circulation was about 1,000,000 readers. In 2014, the magazine had about 2,000,000 readers. Write a linear
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

m= \frac{r_2 -r_1}{t_2 -t_1}= \frac{2000000-1000000}{14-4}=100000

And then we can use for example the first point (t_1, r_1) = (4, 1000000) to find the intercept:

1000000= 100000*4 + b

b=600000

So then the linear model for this case should be:

r = 100000 t + 600000

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we want to find a linear model given by:

r =mt+b

Where r = represent the number of readers , t= years after 2000

m = the slope for the model and b the intercept

For this case we can define the following points from the data given:

(t_1, r_1) = (4, 1000000) 4 years after 2000

(t_2, r_2) = (14, 2000000) 14 years after 2000

We can find the slope with the following formula:

m= \frac{r_2 -r_1}{t_2 -t_1}= \frac{2000000-1000000}{14-4}=100000

And then we can use for example the first point (t_1, r_1) = (4, 1000000) to find the intercept:

1000000= 100000*4 + b

b=600000

So then the linear model for this case should be:

r = 100000 t + 600000
