If I've read this correctly, it looks like this.
If that is correct, then the first step is to put the top part of the denominator over 3x
The next part is to flip a three tier fraction. I'm afraid I have to show what happens. My latex is not that strong.
What you get is
This is just about your final answer. You could write it as
Answer:
A linear function is written as:
y = a*x + b
Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
An exponential equation is written as:
y = A*(r)^x
Where A is the initial quantity and r is the rate of growth.
If a and A are both positives, the similar characteristic of both types of functions is that as x increases, then the value of y will also increase. Then both functions are increasing functions.
They are different in how they increase, while a linear function increases at a constant rate, an exponential function increases slow at the beginning and really fast as x increases, as you can see in the image below where we compare the two types of functions, the green one is the linear function, and the blue one is the exponential function.
