She forgot about the final x at the end, because the first expression is 3x+6+x, and the second one is 3(x+2). The second one expands to 3x+6, but it doesn't have the final term at the end.

Also, 3 is not really a factor of x (technically it could be because x in unknown, but in terms of like terms and stuff it isn't) so you can't take a 3 out of x (unless you leave it as 1/3x I guess).

Anyway, yeah she forgot about the final x and therefore the factor she took out is incorrect anyway. She also could've simplified the first expression so that it became 4x + 6

Which unit rate corresponds to the proportional relationship shown in the graph?
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

1.5 cm/s​

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit rate is the same as the slope.

To find the slope, we use the slope formula:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Using our points, we have

m = (9-0)/(6-0) = 9/6 = 3/2 = 1.5 cm/s
