If I understand your question correctly then it's simple all you have to do is use the numbers in the place of the b and c so the question would be what is 8-7 which equals 1
When grading papers you can convert decimals into percents
5 pounds= 80 ounces
total cost= ($0.44×1)+($0.20×79)=$16.24
I would use 100 as the denominator because it can not be simplified as a whole number
Given:
3,6,9,12,15,18...
We need to find the difference.
The difference between 3 and 6 is 6-3 =3.
The difference between 6 and 9 is 9-6 =3.
The difference between 9 and 12 is 12-9 =3.
The difference between 12 and 15 is 15-12 =3.
The difference between 15 and 18 is 18-15 =3.
Recall that linear have equal differences.
We get an equal difference between each value.
The form of the equation is

Hence the given is linear.
