I disagree with the student because the slope is the rate of change. The slope would be 10 because the rocks are increasing by 10 every month.
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
3 plus 3 is 6 then divided by 3 is 2
To simplify <span>2x + 8 = -6, the easiest way is to manipulate the equation one step at a time:
</span>2x + 8 = <span>-6
</span>2x = <span>-14 (subtract 8 from both sides)
</span>x = -7 (divide both sides by 2)
Set up a proportion.
3/6 = 5.5 / x Cross multiply
3x = 6*5.5
3x = 33 Divide by 3
x = 33/3
x = 11
The length of x is 11.
