You got 9 right, because 5x -3y = 36
For you to lose points, having answered all of thee questions, to the point of which you were given 36 out of 60 possible points tells that you must have gotten over half right for points to have been taken away, and the only factors that satisfy the equation with those restrictions would determine that x must equal 9, making the amount you got right worth 45 points, but with y equal to 3, 9 points were taken away from that score, making it 36. This can also be displayed on a x versus y graph.

the answer is nine because 9times 5 equals 45 subtract 9 equals 36

  AB/BD = CD/DE

  x/12 = 4/6

  x = 12(4/6)

How does the sketch of a graph of function help describe its behavior
Gwar [14]

Answer:

The end behavior of a function f describes the behavior of the graph of the function at the "ends" of the x-axis. In other words, the end behavior of a function describes the trend of the graph if we look to the right end of the x-axis (as x approaches +∞ ) and to the left end of the x-axis (as x approaches −∞ ).
