Hi there!

There are two steps to take when solving this equation, but before we even think about that, let's start by rewriting the equation.

5a + 17 = 47

Step 1) Subtract 17 from both sides.

5a + 17 - 17 = 47 - 17

5a = 30

Step 2) Divide both sides by 5.

5a/5 = 30/5

a = 6

So, your final answer therefore is

a = 6

Hope this helps!

TIP - This method can be used when solving any equation with 1 variable. :D

Maria compared the slope of the function f(x)=(-6x-21) to the slope of the linear function that fits the values in the table bel
raketka [301]

Answer:

b. both functions have a negative slope

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

f(x)=-6x-21


This function is of the form y=mx+b, where m=-6 is the slope and b=-21 is the y-intercept.


We can also determine the slope of the function in the table using any two points, say (0,7)\:and\:(2,6).


The slope formula is given by,

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}.


If (x_1,y_1)=(0,7)\:and\:(x_2,y_2)=(2,6), then,

m=\frac{6-7}{2-0}


m=-\frac{1}{2}.


We can see that both functions have a negative slope.


The correct answer is B.

The table shows the estimated number of lines of code written by computer programmers per hour when x people are working.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Hence, the model that best represents the data is:

y=26.9x-1.3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a table that  shows the estimated number of lines of code written by computer programmers per hour when x people are working.

We are asked to find which model best represents the data?

So for finding this we will put the value of x in each of the functions and check which hold true that which gives the value of y i.e. f(x) as is given in the table:

We are given 4 functions as:

A)

y = 47(1.191)^x

B)

y=34\times (1.204)^x

C)

y=26.9x-1.3

D)

y=27x-4

We make the table of these values at different values of x.

x                  A                 B                C               D

2              66.66          49.3            52.5           50

4             94.57            71.44           106.3         104  

6             134.14           103.57         160.1          158

8             190.27          150.14          213.9         212

10           269.91           217.64         267.7         266

12           382.85          315.5           321.5          320.

Hence, the function that best represents the data is:

Option C.

y=26.9x-1.3
