Answer:

The rate of change is of 0.25 lbs / person

Step-by-step explanation:

According to my research the formula for the Rate of Change is the following

$\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

In this situation we can use y for lbs and x for people. Since all the information was given to us in the question we can just plug the values into the formula above and solve for the rate of change.

$\frac{17lbs-9lbs}{68-36} = \frac{8lbs}{32people} = 0.25lbs/person$

So we can see that the rate of change is of 0.25 lbs / person

Can someone help me solve the inequality-2x+4>8 with the steps? Thanks

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\rm{-2x + 4 > 8}$

$\large\textsf{SUBTRACT 4 to BOTH SIDES}$

$\rm{-2x + 4 - 4 > 8 - 4}$

$\large\textsf{CANCEL puts 4 - 4 because that gives you 0}$

$\large\textsf{KEEP: 8 - 4 because that helps solve for the x-value}$

$\rm{8 - 4 = \boxed{\bf 4}}$

$\rm{NEW\ EQUATION: -2x > 4}$

$\large\textsf{DIVIDE -2 to BOTH SIDES}$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{-2}{-2}>\dfrac{4}{-2}}$

$\mathsf{CANCEL\ out: \dfrac{-2}{-2}\ because\ that\ gives\ you\ 1}$

$\mathsf{KEEP: \dfrac{4}{-2} \ because \ it \ helps \you \ compare\ to \ the \ x-value }$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{4}{-2} = \boxed{\bf -2}}$

$\rm{\bold{x < -2 }}$

$\rm{It\ is \ an\ O PENED \ circle \ shaded \ to \ the \ left \ side \ of \ the \ number \ line}$

2 + 3(3x - 6) = 5(x - 3) + 15 I'm in Algebra 1 and I still can't seem to get this problem, I use Slader to find how to do this b

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2 + 3(3x - 6) = 5(x - 3) + 15

Expand the parenthesis:

2 + 9x - 18 = 5x - 15 + 15

Simplify:

9x - 16 = 5x

Subtract 5x from both sides:

4x - 16 = 0

Add 16 to both sides:

4x = 16

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 4
