Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Option C is the only one that's linear because it follows all of the rules for a line to be linear. To check, use the process of elimination:

A). When x is an absolute value, the line will not be linear because an input will have two outputs.

B). x cannot be in the denominator of a fraction for the line to be linear

D). Once again, x cannot be an absolute value.

*Note: I'm assuming in option B, 7x is in the denominator and 1 is in the numerator. If the fraction is simply 1/7 multiplied by x, it is linear along with C.

The sum of 60 and 30 is divided by 10 and the difference of quotient and 3 is divided by 2

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Final result is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Quotient = (60 + 30) / 10

= 90/10

= 9.

Difference of quotient and 3

= 9 - 3

= 6

6 / 2 = 3.

Use the functions to find x

suter [353]

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) = 10 - \frac{9}{2} x \\ \\ plug \: f(x) = - 53 \\ \\ - 53 = 10 - \frac{9}{2} x \\ \\ \frac{9}{2} x = 10 + 53 \\ \\ \frac{9}{2} x = 63 \\ \\ x = 63 \times \frac{2}{9} \\ \\ x = 7 \times 2 \\ \\ x = 14$

What is a good strategy for finding the distance between two numbers on a number line?

Gnom [1K]

The strategy is following
Smaller number subtract from the greater. Result is distance between two numbers

For example you have 3 and 8
8-3-5
5 is the distance between 3 and 8
It also works with the negative numbers, for example 3 and -5
3-(-5)=8

On a coordinate plane, triangle R S T has points (negative 5, 6), (3, 4), and (negative 2, 2). Which expression can be used to f

pav-90 [236]

The area of a triangle is the amount of space on the triangle

The expression that represents the area of the triangle is $A = \frac 12|-5(2 -4) +3(2 -6) -2(4 -6)|$
