(havn’t actually did any math, but this is just process of elemination.)
{I’m just looking at the end of these, because the start is all the same}
if the number with the (perenthese) is below 1, it is a decreas, and the problem says it’s increasing by 5%. (1.5) Is equal to 50% increase so that means your answer would be (1.05) Because anything times 1 is the larger number, but when u add that 0.5, it’s raising the number up by 5%.
0.89 = a * 2 + b and 2.09 = a * 5 + b => => 2.09 - 0.89 = a * 5 + a * 2 + b - b => 1.20 = 3 * a => a = 1.20 / 3 => a = 0.40; b = 0.89 - 0.40 * 2 => b = 0.89 - 0.80 => b = 0.09;
y = 0.40x + 0.09 => 0.40x - y + 0.09 = 0 is the linear equation.
