x + 4 = 15
- 4 -4
x = 11
You would subtract 4 because you need to isolate the x to get the value of x. You would subtract it to both sides because whatever you do on one side, you have to do it to the other side.
1. The growth rate equation has a general form of:
y = A (r)^t
The function is growth when r≥1, and it is a decay when
r<1. Therefore:
y=200(0.5)^2t -->
Decay
y=1/2(2.5)^t/6 -->
Growth
y=(0.65)^t/4 -->
Decay
2. We rewrite the given equation (1/3)^d−5 = 81
Take the log of both sides:
(d – 5) log(1/3) = log 81
d – 5 = log 81 / log(1/3)
d – 5 = - 4
Multiply both sides by negative 1:
- d + 5 = 4
So the answer is D
Answer:
y = -0.2x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
To write a linear function, calculate the rate of change of the gallon of water leaving the tank and the starting level.
The function will describe the number of gallons over time or (time, gallons).
This means the function has data points (1, 7.8) and (9, 6.2).
Use the rate of change or slope formula to calculate it.

This means that for the formula y = mx+b then m = -0.2.
This also means that after losing 0.2 gallons the first hour it was at 7.8. So the starting value is 8 gallons.
The equation is y = -0.2 x + 8.
You take 24x6.
