There's really no way to solve this problem apriori (unless you can use tools like lagrange polynomials to interpolate points), so I'll just tell you how to approach problems like this.

First of all, we may try to see if the dependence is linear: the input is always increased by 4 (4, 8, 12, 16,...) and the output increases by 2: (5, 7, 9, 11). So, the answer is yes.

Now that we know that these points lay on a line, we can conclude the exercise in several ways:

  1. We already know that the slope is 1/2 (4 units up in the x direction correspond to 2 units up in the y direction). So, we only need the y-intercept. If we go back one step, we can see that the next point would be (0, 3) (I decreased the x coordinate by 4 and the y coordinate by 2). So, the y intercept is 3, and the equation of the line is y=\frac{x}{2}+3
  2. We can use the equation of the line passing through two points:

\dfrac{x-x_2}{x_1-x_2}=\dfrac{y-y_2}{y_1-y_2}

Plug in two points of your choice and you'll get the same answer.

Of course, as a third alternative, you could just have eyeballed the answer: the fact that x grows twice as fast as y could have hinted the x/2 part, and then you could have seen that y is always 3 more than half of x, again leading to y=x/2+3.

ABCD×9=DCBA<br>(what is the value of A, B, C and D)​
Anettt [7]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

The only value that would make sense is if at least one of the variables (A , B , C , D) is 0 (if not all of them). When multiplied, the answer will still be 0, thereby making the equation true.

Jerome works as a waiter. He earns $80 each weekend plus 15% in tips based on the cost of the meals served.
Softa [21]

Answer:

He gets paid $80 each weekend, and a 15% with tips.

you would need to figure out the tips, by taking the $725 and timesing it by .15 for the percent.

which would be 108.75

you would now take 108.75 and add 80 to get what he made that weekend.

108.75+80 = 188.75 dollars
