Answer:
x=20
Step-by-step explanation:
180=2x+6x+20
180=8x+20
160=8x
20=x
Plug in the points and see if y and x are equal to each other.
(2,3)
y= x-1
3= 2-1
3= 1 (not the solution)
y=3x
3=3*3
3=9 (not the solution)
y=x+1
3=2+1
3=3 (solution) We can check to make sure.
y=-3x
3=-3*3
3=-9 (not the solution)
y=x+1 <em>is the answer.
</em>
I hope this helps!

For the second question, your first option is correct, you would rewrite 8 in power-base form 8=2^3 as the first step to solving the equation, power base form is exponential form.
4 is the answer.............
