Answer: C) 5
--------------
x = independent variable, y = dependent variable
Assuming this is a linear function, each increase of x by 2 leads to y going up by 10. So 10/2 = 5 is the unit increase each time x bumps up by 1.
-------------------
An alternative is to use the slope formula to get
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (25 - 15)/(4 - 2)
m = 10/2 <--- this expression shows up again
m = 5 <---- leading to the same answer as before
So we see that the slope formula is a more drawn out method to finding the answer.
Answer:
3(15+12)
Step-by-step explanation:
3(5+4)
3( 5 x 3 =15 and 4 x 3= 12)
First you have to get the number on the right 40 to equal 100 so do 40x2=80- +40x1.5= 100
Then do the same thing to the first number 8 so 8x2=16+8x1.5=20
then you have 20/100 right so then that number over 100 is the percent that you get ^-^ 20%
Answer:
no. see below
Step-by-step explanation:
This much of Josh's working is correct:
x^2-6x=7
x^2-6x+9=7+9
(x-3)^2=16
At this point Josh apparently overlooked the fact that he needed to take the square root of both sides of the equation. Had he done that, he would have ...
x -3 = ±4
x = 3+4 . . . or . . . 3 -4
x = 7 or -1
_____
Josh reported values of x that would match ...
x -3 = ±16
He <em>violated the equal sign</em> by taking the square root on the left, and multiplying by ±1 on the right. Doing different operations on the two sides of the equation will mean the value of x is changed to something other than what you're looking for.
