Please, do not post more than 1 or 2 questions at a time. Out of courtesy I will address one of your six questions here:

2x + 4 = 3(x – 2) + 1

You are to solve this for x.

1) perform the multiplication: 2x + 4 = 3x - 6 + 1
2) combine like terms: 4+6-1 = x
3) solve for x: x = 11
4) check: Is 2(11) + 4 = 3(11-2) + 1 true?
Is 22+4 = 33-6 true? NO. Try again, looking for the mistake:

2x + 4 = 3(x – 2) + 1 => 2x + 4 = 3x - 6 + 1
4 = x - 5
9 = x

Check: Is 2(9) + 4 = 3(9-2) + 1 true? Is 18+4 = 22 true? YES.
The solution to #1 is x = 9 (answer).

Submit your other questions separately, please.

Answer: $\bold{-\dfrac{1}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change is the slope (m) between the two coordinates (-1, -1) and (1, -2).

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m = \dfrac{-2+1}{1+1}$

$=-\dfrac{1}{2}$

Let's first find how many students bring their lunch to school. This is 30% of 300. To find this value, convert the percentage to a fraction (or decimal) and multiply:

$30\% \,\, \textrm{of} \,\,300 = \dfrac{3}{10} \cdot 300 = \dfrac{900}{10} = 90$
