First, we start with the equation that the problem told us, which is:
R + 6 = 2 * (x + 6)
Then, we distribute the two:
R + 6 = 2x + 12
Now, we put R on its own side.
R = 2x +6
So, the answer must be C, 2x + 6
For any equation,

assume solution of a form, 
Which leads to,

Simplify to,

Then find solutions,

For non repeated real root y, we have a form of,

Following up,
For two non repeated complex roots
where,

and,
the general solution has a form of,

Or in this case,

Now we just refine and get,

Hope this helps.

The relationship between x and y is represent as:
Since, the relationship is linear.
The standard form of equation of line is:

Consider any two set x and y values from the given relationship.
Let (-2, 10) and (-1,7.5)


The equation of the linear relationship between x and y is:
y = -2.5(x + 2) + 10
Now, to check that the point (9, -17.5) lies on the represented relationship between x and y
Substitute x = 9 and y = -17.5 in the equation y = -2.5(x + 2) + 10
y = -2.5(x + 2) + 10
-17.5 = -2.5(9 + 2) + 10
-17.5 = -2.5(11) + 10
-17.5 = -27.5 + 10
-17.5 = -17.5
Thus, LHS = RHS
Hence the point (9, -17.5) lie on the given linear relationship between x and y.
Answer: The point (9, -17.5) lie on the given linear relationship between x and y.
A) a customer would pay $1.60 for 1 pound of apples. (To solve, plug in “1” for “p” and find c))
B) 8.5 pounds of apples would cost $13.60. (To solve, plug in 8.5 for p and find c)
C) If a customer pays $5.20, they will have purchased 3.25 pounds of apples. (To solve, plug in 5.2 for c and solve for p)
Have a great day!
