We are given an equation with an unknown variable x. We can find the value of x by dividing both sides by 1.76, as this will leave only x on the right hand side of the equation and its value on the left hand side, as shown below:
Thus solving the given equation, we get x =4.16, rounded of to nearest hundredth.
The rate of change is ur slope.
The table : company p
y/x = 0.4/10 = 0.04
the graph : company s
y/x = 6/100 = 0.06
Company s (the graph) has the greatest rate of change
The answer is 2.84 so the best estimate is 3.00<span />
