Answer: x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept:

There are three ways to solve the system of equations

Substitution
Elimination
Graphing

Here, we would use substitution because we have two same variables.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Solve:

Given

y = -2x + 8

y = x - 4

Substitute

-2x + 8 = x - 4

Add 4 on both sides

-2x + 8 + 4 = x - 4 + 4

-2x + 12 = x

Add 2x on both sides

-2x + 12 + 2x = x + 2x

12 = 3x

Divide 3 on both sides

12 / 3 = 3x / 3

x = 4

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

$y = 23x + 8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the situation can be modelled using a linear equation, then the line must pass through the point (2,54) and (4,100).

To find the equation of this line, we determine the slope using:

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Substitute the coordinates of the points:

$m = \frac{100 - 54}{4 - 2} = \frac{46}{2} = 23$

We use the following formula to find the equation of this line.

$y=m(x-x_1)+y_1$

We substitute the first point a d slope to get:

$y = 23(x - 2) + 54$

Expand the parenthesis to get:

$y = 23x - 46+ 54$

This simplifies to

$y = 23x + 8$

This is the slope-intercept from.

Given the function h(x) = 4^x, Section A is from x = 0 to x = 1 and Section B is from x = 2 to x = 3.

Gennadij [26K]

Ooh, fun

the average rate of change is the slope

easy, so for section A, it would be the slope from (0,h(0)) to (1,h(1)) or from (0,1) to (1,4)
slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(4-1)/(1-0)=3/1=3

section B, would be slope from (2,h(2)) to (3,h(3)) or from
(2,16) to (3,64)
slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(64-16)/(3-2)=48/1=48

1. section A has an average rate of change of 3
section B has an average rate of change of 48

2. 48 is how many times greater than 3
48/3=16
16 times greater

it is because it is an exponential function and the slope grows bigger
