If you compare table values to answer choices, you can see right away that several don't work. The number of centimeters is greater than the number of inches, so adding to or multiplying the number of centimeters by some number more than 1 will not give you the smalller number that is inches.
While it may work for the first number (5 inches) to add 7.7 to get the first number of centimeters (12.7), you have to know that you can only add like to like. You can only add inches to inches (getting a result of inches), or centimeters to centimeters (getting a result of centimeters). From the point of view of the units involved, it is <em>nonsensical</em> to add a pure number to a number of inches and expect to get a number of centimeters.
So, we're down to the second choice:
- The number of inches is multiplied by 2.54 to find the number of centimeters.
_____
To find the pattern in the table, you can ...
- observe that the inch values differ by 1
- observe that the centimeter values differ by 2.54
- realize that the constant differences mean the relation between inches and centimeters is linear, and that a change in an inch value of 1 inch is multiplied by 2.54 to find the corresponding change in centimeter value.

Answer:
increase
Step-by-step explanation:
It increased because if the graph is proportional the graph will continue to increase the dollars since the company is earning dollars, not losing it.
We are given

We can write it as

we can see that 2y is in first two terms
and -8 is in last two terms
so, we can factor it out

now, we can see that x+4 is common in both terms
so, we can factor it out

we can see that
x+4 is one of factor of terms
so, option-B..........Answer
Answer:
around 21-8 so the equation would look like this (21-8)-6=7
Step-by-step explanation:
you do this because if u put the parentheses around 8-6 you would get 21- (8-6)= 19 because 21 - 2 = 19 so you have to put them around 21-8 to get the right answer
