Let's see. We know that x > 13 for sure. That's because we have 4 constant numbers: 7, 1, 3, 2. The total amount of cookies must be larger than 13 because those numbers equal 13 already. 

If you then look, it says that after Sandy and Sue and Stan, Steve was given half of the cookies left. After Steve's cookies were given, there were only two left for grandma. That means Steve got 2 cookies, because grandma also got 2. Now we know that the total amount of cookies must be > than 15.

But using this information, we know that after 3 cookies were given to Stan, there were 4 cookies (b/c 2 + 2 = 4). This also means that before 3 cookies were given to Stan, there were 7 cookies (b/c 4 + 3 = 7). 

So now I did a little trial and testing. After a few tries, I've found the answer. Grandma baked 23 cookies in total. 

23 - 7 = 16. 16 / 2 = 8. 8 + 1 = 9. 16 - 9 = 7. 7 - 3 = 4. 4 / 2 = 2. 4 - 2 = 2. 

Sorry if this was a tad confusing, hope it helps though!

Answer:

The greater unit rate of the two functions is the first function shown by the table and the greater y intercept is the second function shown by the graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope of both equations

(15-5)/(5-0) = 2

(6-0)/(0+4) = 3/2

2>3/2

y-intercept is where the function crosses the y axis, function 1 y-intercept is 5 and the y-intercept of function 2 is 6, 6>5

What is the mean of the data set?
andre [41]
You find the mean by adding each value then dividing the sum by the number of values there were so in this case you'd say 301 + 222 + 287 + 310 + 346 which is 1466 then divide by 5 because there are 5 values and your answer is 293.2!

I hope this helps

9.) Answer: B. f(x) = 4 - x



Explanation/Proof:

If we substitute, the answers are correct.

f(x) = 4 - (1)

f(x) = 3 ✅


f(x) = 4 - (2)

f(x) = 2 ✅


And so on and so forth.

PLEASEEEEEE HELPPPPPPPP
Natali5045456 [20]
The formula for the sum of n terms in an arithmetic progression is:
S = n/2 * (2a + (n-1)d)
Here, the common difference, d, is 8 and the first term, a, is 1. Substituting these into the formula, we get:

S = n/2 * (2*1 + 8(n - 1))
S = n + 4n² - 4n
S = 4n² - 3n
The answer is A.
