Answer:

When someone puts on 20 pounds then, the rate of change of height or the height increases by 0.534 inches.                  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following equation:

Predicted height = (0.0267 inches per pound)(weight) + 65.2

Let y b the predicted height in inches and x be the weight in pounds.

y =65.2 + 0.0267x

Comparing to general form of equation:

y = mx +c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

m = 0.0267

Interpretation of slope:

Th slope tells us about the rate of change that is when the weight increases by 1 unit that is 1 pound then, the height increases by 0.0267 inches.

When someone puts on 20 pounds:

y(x+20)-y(x) =65.2 + 0.0267(x+20) - 65.2 - 0.0267x\\y(x+20)-y(x) = 0.534

Interpretation:

Thus, when someone puts on 20 pounds then, the rate of change of height or the height increases by 0.534 inches.

What are the two equations that need to be solved to find the solutions for the absolute value equation |x-5|=x-2
Allushta [10]

Answer:

x - 5 = x - 2   and

x - 5 = 2 - x.

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 5 may be positive or negative so we have:

x - 5 = x - 2  

and

x - 5 = - (x  - 2)

x - 5 = 2 - x.

Simplify without using the absolute value sign<br><br> | x- ( - 18) | if x &gt; - 18
slega [8]
The expression would be > 0.

Subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive; therefore -18--18 = -18+18 = 0.  Since we know that x>-18, 0 is below anything we could get from this.
