The answer to the question would be 455
For both functions, we can use the rise over run formula to find the slope. Rise over run uses the following formula:

Function 1 has the points (0,4) and (3,0). Plug the x and y values into the formula:

Function 1 has a slope of -4/3.
We can take any two points from Function 2. We'll use (0,5) and (4,8). Plug the values into the formula:

Function 2 has a slope of 3/4.
Because the question asks for the steeper slope, we'll convert the slope of Function 1 into a positive number. The slope will now be 4/3.
Compare the slopes of both functions:
Function 1 has the steeper slope, -4/3.
1 1/4
4 fits into five once, leaving 1/4 left making it a mixed number.
Answer:
x = -3
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
5(x + 4) = -2(-4 - x) + 3
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute: 5x + 20 = 8 + 2x + 3
- Combine like terms: 5x + 20 = 2x + 11
- Subtract 2x on both sides: 3x + 20 = 11
- Subtract 20 on both sides: 3x = -9
- Divide 3 on both sides: x = -3
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute: 5(-3 + 4) = -2(-4 - -3) + 3
- Simplify: 5(-3 + 4) = -2(-4 + 3) + 3
- Add: 5(1) = -2(-1) + 3
- Multiply: 5 = 2 + 3
- Add: 5 = 5
Here we see that 5 does indeed equal 5. ∴ x = -3 is a solution of the equation.
And we have our final answer!
