N is an odd integer
The Next Larger is N+2
N+2 + 2N = -27 + 4N
3N + 2 = 4N - 27
0 = 4N - 27 - 3N - 2
0 = N - 29
N = 29
They are 29 and 31.
31 + 2(29) = 4(29) - 27
31 + 58 = 89 = 116 - 27 yes it works
-- They're losing employees . . . so you know that the line will slope down, and
its slope is negative;
-- They're losing employees at a steady rate . . . so you know that the slope is
the same everywhere on the line; this tells you that the graph is a straight line.
I can see the function right now, but I'll show you how to go through the steps to
find the function. I need to point out that these are steps that you've gone through
many times, but now that the subject pops up in a real-world situation, suddenly
you're running around in circles with your hair on fire screaming "What do I do ?
Somebody give me the answer !".
Just take a look at what has already been handed to you:
0 months . . . 65 employees
1 month . . . . 62 employees
2 months . . . 59 employees
You know three points on the line !
(0, 65) , (1, 62) , and (2, 59) .
For the first point, 'x' happens to be zero, so immediately
you have your y-intercept ! ' b ' = 65 .
You can use any two of the points to find the slope of the line.
You will calculate that the slope is negative-3 . . . which you
might have realized as you read the story, looked at the numbers,
and saw that they are <u>firing 3 employees per month</u>.
("Losing" them doesn't quite capture the true spirit of what is happening.)
So your function ... call it ' W(n) ' . . . Workforce after 'n' months . . .
is <em>W(n) = 65 - 3n</em> .

Let 
39.95 + 9.80 = 49.75
70.23 - 49.75 = 20.48
20.48 / 0.32 = 64
The truck was driven 64 miles.
Answer:
{14,13,6,0}

It’s basically the y value :)
