Answer:

the answer is 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

- 3 (x - 12) = - 54

-3x + 36 = -54

-3x = -54 - 36

-3x = -90

x = -90/-3

x = 30

The price of fuel may increase due to demand and decrease due to overproduction. Emily is studying the change in the price of tw

Marizza181 [45]

An exponential function can either represent a growth or decay.

The price of fuel A is increasing.
Fuel B recorded a greater percentage change in price

For fuel A, the exponential function is given as:

$f(x) = 2.96(1.04)^x$

An exponential function is represented as:

$y = ab^x$

Where b represents the rate.

By comparison

$b = 1.04$

Since b (i.e. 1.04) is greater than 1, then the price of fuel A is increasing.

The table represents an exponential function.

The rate of fuel B is calculated by dividing the current price by the immediate previous price.

So, we have:

$b = \frac{3.41}{3.22}$

$b = 1.06$

By comparison, 1.06 is greater than 1.04 (the rate of fuel A).

Hence, fuel B recorded a greater percentage change in price

Scilla [17]

Answer:

The sum is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When you add a negative number to a positive number, it is basically just subtracting the negative from the positive. To make it simple, 5 + -4 is just 5 - 4.

Hannah was wrong in saying you take the sign of the larger number because it would not matter if the first number was a million, the signs don't change based on the size of numbers.
