12 - x = 20 - 5x

You see that -x and -5x both have an 'x' variable? This means they are 'like' terms. To get -x to the other side, we must add (if like terms are on opposite sides, do the opposite of what the sign says, e.g. - will be +)

12 = 20 - 4x

Now move 20 to the other side. Remember, do the opposite! Since 20 is positive, we must minus 20 to the other side.

-8 = -4x

To get x by itself, you will need to get rid of the coefficient of -4. -4x basically means -4 times x, so the opposite of that would be divide! Divide by -4

2 = x (Since both sides have a negative, they cancel out to give a positive)
x = 2

In the table adam recorded the miles he travled each day while traveling from Florida to California. Calculate the average rate
blagie [28]

Hi!

<em>To calculate the rate of change between days 4 and 6, we simply take those points, (4, 1503) and (6, 2196) and use the equation in the picture below:</em>

<em />

Now, when we plug it in the equation, it looks like this:

\frac{2196-1503}{6-4} = \frac{693}{2} = 346.5

Therefore, your answer is 346.5 or, rounded, 347.

<em><u>Meaning, your answer is C</u></em>

<em><u></u></em>

Hope this helps and have a great day! :D
