In linear functions, rate of change is constant: as x goes up, y will go up a consistent amount. In exponential functions, the rate of change increases by a consistent multiplier—it will never be the same, but there will be a pattern.
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2x - 5 = 7 ( add 5 to both sides )
2x = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 6
