<h3>
Answer: B) 2</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
Take away the four white small squares on the left side. To balance things out, you have to add 4 black squares to the right side.
Also, take away the two white long rectangles from the right side. To balance this out, you have to add 2 gray long rectangles to the left side.
You should have:
- 5 gray rectangles, and no squares (of any color) on the left side
- 10 black squares, no long rectangles (of any color), on the right side
From here you'll group up the 10 black squares so that you'll have 2 black squares per gray rectangle.
This means the solution is 2.
-------------------------------------
If you're curious about the algebraic way to solve, then you could do this:
3x-4 = -2x+6
3x+2x = 6+4
5x = 10
x = 10/5
x = 2
This method doesn't require us to use the visual model.
Do you mean 7 more than the product of 5 and a number? If so the answer is... y=7+5x
Answer:
a= 13.15 years
b= -0.62 years/$
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
Given the variables
Y: Age of a used car. (years)
X: Price of a sold used car. ($000)
The linear regression model is:
E(Y)= α + βXi
The estimated equation is:
^Y= a + bXi

a= 13.15 years

b= -0.62 years/$
Then ^Y= 13.15 - 0.62Xi
Mean Y= 8.92
Mean X= 6.91
∑Y= 107
∑Y²=1009
∑X=82.90
∑X²=615.29
∑XY=712.9
Hope it helps!
