If I did the math correctly I’d should be -5 or rewritten as -5/1.
Answer:
2,5
Step-by-step explanation:
2,5 is just one of the many solutions to this problem. you can just take a random number for x, for example 2. your equation will look like this 3(2)-y=1. now you just solve for y. 3x2=6. 6-1=5. so y=5.
Since they tell us that this is linear, having a constant rate of change, we can express this as a line:
y=mx+b, where m=slope (change in y divided by change in x) and b=y-intercept (value of y when x=0)
First find the slope, or m, which mathematically is:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1), in this case:
m=(880-440)/(2000-1000)
m=440/1000
m=0.44, so far our line is:
y=0.44x+b, now we can use either data point to solve for b, I'll use (1000,440)
440=0.44(1000)+b
440=440+b
0=b, so our line is just:
y=0.44x
He is wrong. You first need to put it in order before getting the middle. Like so:
22, 36, 48, 60, 84
Now cross out 22, then 84, and so on till you're left with one number (the middle number)
THE ANSWER IS 48
