I'm assuming that the line is JKL in order of the points from left to right.
JK + KL = JL
(17-x) + (2x-7) = JL
Simplify.
10-x = JL
Step-by-step explanation:
7x + 8 + 15 - 7x
Solving like terms

Option C is the correct answer
The scenario represents a linear function. The rate is at a constant increase therefore it is linear.
Linear because it’s a constant rate
Since it’s doubled, and doesn’t go at a constant rate, it is a exponential function
Exponential since it increases by a multiplicative rate. It’s not constant
Answer: 110 horses
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
An average adult horse needs two fifth bale of hay
The farm has 44 bales of hay
Suppose n horses can be fed by the available bales of hay
So, we can write

Write an equation system based on the problem
For an instance, e stands for the price of a carton of eggs, and b stands for the price of a loaf of bread
"Kate bought 3 cartons of eggs and 5 loaves of bread for $30.07" could be written as 3e + 5b = 30.07 (first equation)
"Melissa bought 2 cartons of eggs and 2 loaves of bread for $14.74" could be written as 2e + 2b = 14.74 (second equation)
Solve the equation system using elimination method
Eliminate b to find e. To eliminate b, we should equalize the coefficient of b.
3e + 5b = 30.07 (multiplied by 2)
2e + 2b = 14.74 (multiplied by 5)
-------------------------------------------
6e + 10b = 60.14
10e + 10b = 73.70
------------------------- - (substract)
-4e = -13.56
e = -13.56/-4
e = 3.39
The price for a carton of eggs is $3.39
