The easiest (if not the only) way to solve this, is to check whether the slope at each point stays constant, or not. And in general, see how the rate rate of change evolves. In other words:
6.5 / 5 = 1.3
13 / 10 = 1.3
19.5 / 15 = 1.3
26 / 20 = 1.3
32.5 / 25 = 1.3
39 / 30 = 1.3
As you can see " in every step to the right, the function goes up by 1.3 " --> constant
I’m pretty sure you would have to make them equal 1. 3x -10=7x+14 2. Add 10 to both sides 3. 3x=7x+24 4. Subtract the variable ( 7x ) from both sides 5. -4x=24 6. Divide -4/24 I hope I did it right let me know if any errors
