Answer:
-21
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to divide the minutes by hours
Simplifying
25x + -15 = 2y
Reorder the terms:
-15 + 25x = 2y
Solving
-15 + 25x = 2y
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '15' to each side of the equation.
-15 + 15 + 25x = 15 + 2y
Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0
0 + 25x = 15 + 2y
25x = 15 + 2y
Divide each side by '25'.
x = 0.6 + 0.08y
Simplifying
x = 0.6 + 0.08y
We are given the following data
x y
1 4.5
2 6.75
3 10.125
4 15.1875
To get the multiplicative rate of change, we pick out two pairs of data so,
MROC = 6.75/4.5 / (2 - 1)
MROC = 1.5
The answer is 1.5
