First get rid of the exponent: 6x + 3 = 243. then subtract 3 from both sides: 6x = 240. lastly divide both side by 6: x = 40. be sure to check your work by plugging it back in.
Pick any value in the y column of the table. I'm going to pick 81. Divide the value you picked by the previous y value, which in my case would be 9
Dividing the values gives: 81/9 = 9
So the base is 9. We multiply each y value by 9 to get the next y value
Eg: to go from 1/81 to 1/9, we multiply by 9. Same for 1/9 to 1, and so on.
Answer: Choice B) 9
Note: This trick only works because x is increasing by 1 each time
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+c
Take c from both sides:
y-c = mx
Divide both sides by m:
(y-c) / m =x
Now swap sides to make it prettier:
x = (y-c) / m
There is about 87658.1. there are 8765.81 in one year so multiply by ten to get 87658.1.
