Answer:
3 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
on the left side there is 3 circles and every circle is 3 grams, so there is 9 grams plus 6 squares for 2 grams its 12 . 9+12 =21 and two triangles with x mass
on the right side there is 2 circles , 2×3 = 6, and 3 squares, 3×2 = 6. 6+6=12 +5x
both sides are equal so we have
21+2x=12+5x
21-12=5x-2x
9=3x
x=3
Answer:
A. The relationship is proportional.
C. The slope is negative.
✓ A. The relationship is proportional.
-> We have a one to one proportion because the relationship is linear
✗ B. The slope is –6.
-> The slope is -3/2, not -3
-> We can pick a point, and then we count down 3 and over 2 to the next point
✓ C. The slope is negative.
-> Because the line is going from top left to bottom right the line is negative
✗ D. The y-intercept is –3.
-> The slope is -3/2, not -3
-> We can pick a point, and then we count down 3 and over 2 to the next point
✗ E. The equation of the line is y = –3x.
-> Again, the slope should be -3/2, not -3
Have a nice day!
I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)

-- They're losing employees . . . so you know that the line will slope down, and
its slope is negative;
-- They're losing employees at a steady rate . . . so you know that the slope is
the same everywhere on the line; this tells you that the graph is a straight line.
I can see the function right now, but I'll show you how to go through the steps to
find the function. I need to point out that these are steps that you've gone through
many times, but now that the subject pops up in a real-world situation, suddenly
you're running around in circles with your hair on fire screaming "What do I do ?
Somebody give me the answer !".
Just take a look at what has already been handed to you:
0 months . . . 65 employees
1 month . . . . 62 employees
2 months . . . 59 employees
You know three points on the line !
(0, 65) , (1, 62) , and (2, 59) .
For the first point, 'x' happens to be zero, so immediately
you have your y-intercept ! ' b ' = 65 .
You can use any two of the points to find the slope of the line.
You will calculate that the slope is negative-3 . . . which you
might have realized as you read the story, looked at the numbers,
and saw that they are <u>firing 3 employees per month</u>.
("Losing" them doesn't quite capture the true spirit of what is happening.)
So your function ... call it ' W(n) ' . . . Workforce after 'n' months . . .
is <em>W(n) = 65 - 3n</em> .
If we are going to write the equation in its mathematical form, we will see that it becomes,
<span> f(x) = 17/(x – 5)</span>
The domain of the function is the number of x that would allow us to solve the equation and get a real value for f(x). In this equation, x can take any real numbers so long as it is not 5. This is because 5 – 5 in the denominator will lead to 0 which in turn makes the equation indefinite.
