FIRST WE ...
subtract one value to the other to see how many valued we have in between
-7 - (-2) = 5
7-2=5
Both of the lines XY AND ZW have 5 units or points in between them.
Length = 5 units
They are congruent since XY = ZW in length and essentially are the same line but at different points
Let [a, b] = the interval
The average rate of change can be found by using [f(b) - f(a)]/(b - a).
Let a = 1 and b = 5.
Let R = rate of change
17- x^2
R = [17 - 5^2] - [17 - 1^2]/(5 - 1)
R = [17 - 25] -[17 - 1]/4
R = [(-8) - (16)]/4
R = (-24)/4
R = -6
Done.
There are 4 quarts in a gallon so the amount used can be shown as 4 1/4, or 4.25 so to find out how much gas is left in the tank you simply subtract 4.25 from 20.
20-4.25
=15.75
There is 15.75, or 15 3/4, gallons of gasoline left in the tank.
50 + 18 + (50 - 10) + (40 - 18) + 10 + 40 = 180
So first we start with division:
$750 divided by 2 equals $375.
Since one employee gets more than the other, we need to add more onto his/her salary.
So, next is addition.
$375 plus $200 equals $575.
So, one employee makes $375 while the other has an increase in his salary, so they get paid $575.
Hope I helped you!
