Answer: 
Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right
<u>Add -14y to each side of the equation</u>
<u></u>
<u></u>
<u></u>
<u>Combine like terms: 5y + -14y = -9y
</u>
<u></u>
<u></u>
<u></u>
<u>Combine like terms: 14y + -14y = 0
</u>
<u></u>
<u></u>
<u></u>
<u>Add '20' to each side of the equation</u>
<u></u>
<u></u>
<u></u>
<u>Combine like terms: -20 + 20 = 0
</u>
<u></u>
<u></u>
<u></u>
<u>Combine like terms: 7 + 20 = 27
</u>

Answer is 64 and a factor is 6/4 .
For this case we have the following function:

By definition, the average rate of change is given by:

We evaluate the function for the given values:
For x = 7:

For x = 14:

Then, replacing values we have:
Answer:
the average rate of change from x = 7 to x = 14 is:
a. 23.22
Ni : Zn: Cu = 7:2:9 =7x : 2x : 9x
7x+2x+9x = 3.8
18x=3.8
x=3.8/18=1.9/9≈0.21
Ni: 7x=7*0.21=1.47 ≈1.5 kg
Zn: 2x=2*0.21=0.42≈0.4 kg
Cu: 9x=9*0.21=1.89 ≈1.9 kg
Check 1.5+0.4+1.9 =3.8 True
