2(x + 1) + 3x = 17

Distributive property.

2x + 2 + 3x = 17

Combine like terms.

5x + 2 = 17

Subtract 2 from both sides.

5x = 15

Divide both sides by 5.

First, you need to use the distributive property and distribute the 2 inside the parentheses.

2(x + 1) + 3x = 17

2(x) + 2(1) + 3x = 17

2x + 2 + 3x = 17                   -Combine like terms

2x + 3x + 2 = 17

5x + 2 = 17                 -Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.

5x + 2 - 2 = 17 - 2

5x = 15                            -Finally, divide each side by 5 to find your answer

5x/5 = 15/5

x = 3

Hope this helps you!

How sensitive to changes in water temperature are coral reefs? To find out, scientists examined data on sea surface temperatures
Oduvanchick [21]

The correlation coefficient tells that every increase in sea surface temperature of one degree Celsius will result in an average of 0.1578 fewer centimeters of coral growth per year.

Using technology

The mean= x bar = 26.4667

The mean = y bar= 0.86

The standard deviation= Sx= 0.2251

The standard Deviation Sy=  0.0438

The Correlation Coefficient= r = -0.8111

The slope= b= r* Sy/Sx= -0.15789

The intercept is 5.0389

(d)<u><em> Every increase </em></u>in sea <u><em>surface temperature</em></u> of one degree Celsius will result in an average of <em><u>0.1578 fewer</u></em> centimeters of <em><u>coral growth</u></em> per year.

Here the independent variable is X the sea surface temperature and dependent variable is the Y coral growth.

As the temperature decreases which is along x- axis the growth increases along y axis.

From the given options the option d is the best answer according to the question given.

The same values are calculated using different technology .
