The equation is an illustration of a linear function
The rate of change is 10 and the initial value is 25
<h3>How to determine the rate of change and the initial value</h3>
The equation is given as:

A linear equation is represented as:

Where:
- b represents the initial value
- m represents the rate
By comparison:
b = 25
m = 10
Hence, the rate of change is 10 and the initial value is 25

rational number is any number that can be written as the
ratio between two other numbers i.e. in the form

Part A:
An easy choice that makes sense is 7.8, right in the middle. To prove that it's rational we need to write it as a ratio. In this case we have

Part B:
We need a number that can't be written as a ratio (because it neither terminates nor repeats). Some common ones are

,

,

and

so it makes sense to try and use those to build our number. In this case

works nicely.
Answer:
x = 120
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's draw an imaginary dot in the middle of that <u>line</u> which runs between those two parallel lines, and now lets look at it as an angle.
This lines' angle is 180 degrees. Now lets move those two parallel lines together on the imaginary dot in the middle.
We can see that on the left side is one degree and the other side is another, however when we put them together we get the angle measurement of the our line which we identified was 180.
Now that we can see that our two angles must equal 180 when put together we know and can say that:
40 + (x + 20) = 180
So, lets work this out like basic algebra now.
40 + x + 20 = 180
x + 60 = 180
- 60 - 60
x = 120
And voila we have our x value.
Hope this helps :)
The answer is
X =3
because they both equal the amounts given
