The question is incorrect because of the apparent contradiction the question makes.
First statement says that a quantity S is equal to quantity r.
The second statement says that S = 174r.
Moreover, the quantity C is not correctly linked with the equation. Please either correct the question or explain the ambiguity.
Answer:
slope intercept form is y=mx+b
your m is 4
all you do is plug the numbers in
y=4x+6
55/9 = 6.11
57/7 = 8.14
41/5 = 8.2
65/8 = 8.125
The answer is 41/5 is larger than 8.15
5x + 10 = -4x - 17
+4x +4x
5x + 4x = 9x
9x + 10 = -17
-10 -10
-27
9x = -27 9x/9 = -27/9
x = -3
