That's an expression, so the only thing you can do is simplify it, but that already looks simplified.
Part A: The y-intercept is 5. If you look to the data, when x=0, y=5. This means that the turtle started off 5 miles away from its nest. (at 0 hours, the distance away from his nest was 5 miles)
Part B:Answer=22. Remember, if you take any two distinct points on a line, the slope of the line will be equal to the average rate of change. In short, we're just looking for the slope between the ordered pairs (1,27) and (4,93). The formula for slope is:

The average rate of change between x=1 and x=4 is 22. The average rate of changed describes the rate at which miles is changing with respect the the change in hour.
Part C: Answer=10hours. Since by now we know both the slope and the y-intercept, lets write the equation in slope intercept form and then solve for 225 miles.
y=mx+b
y=22x+5
225=22x+5
subtract 5 from both sides
220=22x
divide both sides by 22
10=x
It would take 10 hours for the turtle to travel 225miles from it's nest.
The answer is 2300 because the climbing rate is 100 bacteria per hour. so times 100 and 13 and u get 1300 and u have to add that to the a 1000
<span>Simplifying
3x + -8 = 31
Reorder the terms:
-8 + 3x = 31
Solving
-8 + 3x = 31
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '8' to each side of the equation.
-8 + 8 + 3x = 31 + 8
Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0
0 + 3x = 31 + 8
3x = 31 + 8
Combine like terms: 31 + 8 = 39
3x = 39
Divide each side by '3'.
x = 13
Simplifying
x = 13</span>
Answer:
$651.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Alice earns $2.65 per hour
In 42 hours she will earn = 42 * 2.65 = $111.3
Her total tip after 42hours is 540.5
Total money earned is 540.5+111.3 = 651.8
