Answer: A. divided the difference of the two quantities by the sum of the two quantities.
===================================================
Explanation:
The difference of the quantities is 20-15 = 5
The sum of the quantities is 20+15 = 35
Dividing those results leads to 5/35 = 0.142857 which rounds to 0.1429
That converts to 14.29%
This is likely the path Adam took. This path is incorrect. The correct steps are shown below
---------------------
Difference = 20-15 = 5
Divide the difference over the original quantity
5/20 = 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%
We have a 25% decrease because the new quantity (15) is smaller than the old quantity (20)
----------------------
Here's another way to approach the problem
A = old value = 20
B = new value = 15
C = percent change
C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100%
C = [ (15-20)/20 ] * 100%
C = (-5/20)*100%
C = -0.25*100%
C = -25%
The negative C value means we have a negative percent change, ie we have a percent decrease. So this is another way to get a 25% decrease.

The answer to this problem is 1 :)
Answer:
Given the function: y=f(x) = 3x+2
when x=-2 at the beginning of the interval [-2, 5],
then;
y = 3x+2 begins at
y= 3(-2)+2 = -6+2= -4.
and
when x=5 at the end of the interval [-2, 5],
y = 3x+2 ends up at
y= 3(5)+2 = 15+2= 17.
So,
y has changed -4 to 17, which is a change of 17-(-4)= 17+4 = 21
and x has changed from -2 to 5, which is a change of 5-(-2)=5+2=7
So, the average rate of change of y with respect to x over the interval
[-2, 5] is given by ;
=
Therefore, the average rate of change y with respect to x over the interval is, 3
