The next number in the sequence is 8
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the function h(x), you need to subtract the function
and the function
.

Distribute the negative sign:

Now you can add the like terms:

Therefore, you get that the function h(x) is:

You can set up an system of equations
x=2y+8
x-y=25
Substitute x in to the second equation
2y+8-y=25
y+8=25
y=17
Substitute the y back in to the first equation.
x=2(17)+8=42
Answer:
3.471 + 7.2516 x
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data:
(1,3) (2,0) (5,-8) (9, -25) .
X:
1
2
5
9
Y:
3
0
-8
-25
The line of best fit for the data given can be obtained using an online regression calculator :
The equation of best fit for the data is thus;
Best fit equation; y = -3.471 + 7.2516x
Intercept = - 3.471 ;
Slope = 7.2516
x-5= 0
move -5 to the other side
sign changes from -5 to +5
x-5+5= 0+5
x= 5
x-6= 0
x-6+6= 0+6
x= 6
Answer: B. 5 and 6
