Amy: x skirts
Betty: 2x skirts
Carol: (2x) + 7 skirts
If Amy has 18 less than Carol, than Carol's equation minus 18 equals Amy's equation:
[(2x) + 7] - 18 = x
+18 +18
(2x) + 7 = x + 18
- 7 -7
2x = x + 11
-x -x
x = 11
Input the solution for x into the girls equation to double check.
Amy: 11
Betty: 2(x)
2(11)
=22
Carol: (2x) + 7
22 + 7
=29
Does Amy have 18 less than Carol?
Carol - Amy = 18
29 - 11 = 18
18 = 18

Answer:
- 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is

here [ a, b ] = [ - 7, - 1 ]
f(b) = f(- 1) = (- 1)² + 2(- 1) - 8 = 1 - 2 - 8 = - 9
f(a) = f(- 7) = (- 7)² + 2(- 7) - 8 = 49 - 14 - 8 = 27
Hence
average rate of change =
=
= - 6
