The rate of change is another way of saying slope
since the total text messages increase by 35 each day the slope (rate of change) should be 35

Way to prove it if slope isn't as obvious:

since you have the day and the total text messages you can use day as x and total text messages as y giving you the coordinates of: (1,35) (2,70) (3,105)

then you can use the slope formula to find the slope
m= (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) and pick two coordinates to plug in

I choose coordinates (1,35) and (2,70) to plug into the equation
m=(70-35)/(2-1)
m=35/1
m=35
so the rate of change is 35

Solve with a system of equations: Two angles are supplementary if the sum of their measures are 180 degrees. If one is 90 degree

julsineya [31]

Answer:

The measures of the angles are 150° and 30°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the measures of the angles, with x representing the larger angle.

x + y = 180 . . . . . . the two angles are supplementary

x = 90 + 2y . . . . . one is 90° more than twice the other

___

Substituting the expression given by the second equation into the first, we have ...

(90 +2y) +y = 180

3y = 90 . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 90

y = 30 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of y

x = 180 -y = 150

The measures of the angles are 150° and 30°.

What fraction would you add to 29/6 to make 4

Zigmanuir [339]

Keeping in mind that 29/6 is greater than 4, is actually 4 and 5/6, so the amount we'll "add" will be a negative one.

$\bf \cfrac{29}{6}+x=4\implies x=4-\cfrac{29}{6}\implies x=\cfrac{4}{1}-\cfrac{29}{6}\implies x=\cfrac{(6)4-(1)29}{6}
\\\\\\
x=\cfrac{24-29}{6}\implies x=\cfrac{-5}{6}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{29}{6}+\left( -\cfrac{5}{6} \right)=4$
