Answer:
Two terms
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we have to simplify reducing the number of terms, since there are like terms
x-5+16x+4-2x-3
Eventually, you'll get 15x-4, thus there are two terms.
Please correct me if I'm incorrect, and I'll change the answer, but I hope I helped :)
Answer:
1) graph b
2)appears to decrease more
Step-by-step explanation:

+9=30

=21 {subtract 9 from both sides}
8x=147 {multiply both sides by 7 to cancel out the division (fraction)}
x=18.375 {divide both sides by 8}
The answer is A) 18 3/8
If x is directly proportional to y, it means that as x increase, y also increases and vice versa. This could be done another way. Since I am already given a point of x and y, I could simply find the difference between x and y, which would be 12 in this case. To find the x value when y is 24, I would simply either add or subtract that difference. Depending on which of the x or y value is higher. In this case, since we are solving for y and y is larger than x, I would subtract it. Meaning x would be 12.
