3200÷100=32
Since each model is 100, you need 32 to model 3,200
-- They're losing employees . . . so you know that the line will slope down, and
its slope is negative;
-- They're losing employees at a steady rate . . . so you know that the slope is
the same everywhere on the line; this tells you that the graph is a straight line.
I can see the function right now, but I'll show you how to go through the steps to
find the function. I need to point out that these are steps that you've gone through
many times, but now that the subject pops up in a real-world situation, suddenly
you're running around in circles with your hair on fire screaming "What do I do ?
Somebody give me the answer !".
Just take a look at what has already been handed to you:
0 months . . . 65 employees
1 month . . . . 62 employees
2 months . . . 59 employees
You know three points on the line !
(0, 65) , (1, 62) , and (2, 59) .
For the first point, 'x' happens to be zero, so immediately
you have your y-intercept ! ' b ' = 65 .
You can use any two of the points to find the slope of the line.
You will calculate that the slope is negative-3 . . . which you
might have realized as you read the story, looked at the numbers,
and saw that they are <u>firing 3 employees per month</u>.
("Losing" them doesn't quite capture the true spirit of what is happening.)
So your function ... call it ' W(n) ' . . . Workforce after 'n' months . . .
is <em>W(n) = 65 - 3n</em> .
4xAnswer: y=9-4x
Step-by-step explanation: Subtract 4X from both sides
Answer: -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given by your question
2(3x-1)≥4x-6
Distributive property to take off the parentheses
2×3x-2×1≥4x-6
6x-2≥4x-6
Subtract 4x on both sides (Subtractive property of equality)
6x-2-4x≥4x-6-4x
2x-2≥-6
Add 2 on both sides (Addition property of equality)
2x-2+2≥-6+2
2x≥-4
Divide 2 on both sides (Division property of equality)
2/2 x≥-4/2
x≥-2
