Idk what linear combination is but you can solve this way:
3x+y=4
-2x-y=-5
x=-1
3(-1)+y=4
-3+y=4
y=7
So x=-1 and y=7
Answer:
1) Function h
interval [3, 5]
rate of change 6
2) Function f
interval [3, 6]
rate of change 8.33
3) Function g
interval [2, 3]
rate of change 9.6
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
To find the average rate of change, we divide the change in the output value by the change in the input value
the average rate of change is equal to
step 1
Find the average rate of change of function h(x) over interval [3,5]
Looking at the third picture (table)
Substitute
step 2
Find the average rate of change of function f(x) over interval [3,6]
Looking at the graph
Substitute
step 3
Find the average rate of change of function g(x) over interval [2,3]
we have

Substitute
therefore
In order from least to greatest according to their average rates of change over those intervals
1) Function h
interval [3, 5]
rate of change 6
2) Function f
interval [3, 6]
rate of change 8.33
3) Function g
interval [2, 3]
rate of change 9.6
I am unsure about the very last problem but I can help with the first two
1) (y+1)+4
If we combine the numbers 1 and 4, we get +5 and can isolate the numbers from the variable.
This would give us

2) (6*r)*7
remember that we do not have to explicitly state 6*r
Instead, we can write it as 6r
this helps us get rid of the parentheses
now we can write it as

I hope this helps!:)
Negative exponents work like this:

So, in order to evaluate a negative exponent, you simply have to invert the base, and then raise to the positive equivalent of the exponent.
As an example, here are the first three exercises:



You can work out the rest applying this logic.
