X/2 + 5 = -10
x/2 = -10 - 5
x/2 = -15
x = -15(2)
x = -30
Here, to find the average rate of change, you would simply divide 270 by 63. And when that is done, you would get a long decimal. 4.285714285714286
And since you obviously can't put in such a long decimal as your answer, you would round it instead. Once rounded, you would end up with 4.29 (because the number after 8 is five, which rounds up, which would turn the 8 to 9.)
Literally just replace the nine and four with ANY other numbers.
1 cup= 8 fluid ounces, so therefore 5 cups=40 fluid ounces. Hope this helps! :)
