Since you have y alone on one side of the equation......
Use substitution and plug in 1/2x-4 for y in the other equation.

Distribute

Combine like terms

Add 8 to both sides

Divide by 4
and 
Plug this value in for x

Simplify

Multiply everything by 8 and simplify

Divide.....

Your answers are:

Answer: D) 
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given table we can see that this is not representing a linear function as the rate of change is not constant.
So it can be exponential growth function
, where A is the initial amount , b is the multiplicative rate of growth and n is the time period in weeks.
Now here at n=1 , f(n)=8
Therefore, A=8
Now, for n=2

By substitute the values of A and b in the above equation, we get the equation 
Therefore, the function best shows the relationship between n and f(n) is
, where n is the number of weeks.
Answer:
ar some point pattern A will have the same numbers as pattern B as it moves along like if you add 3 for 2 more times in pattern A it will have 24 and so on..
