Answer:

59

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is

944 - 5x = 1180 - 9x

Notice what is being said. You start with 944 gallons and take off 5 per week

You also start with 1180 gallons and take on 9 per week.

You want to know when the two are equal. The second tank is larger, but it leaks more. That's what's going to bring about equality.

Add 9x to both sides

944 - 5x + 9x = 1180

944 + 4x = 1180                

Subtract 944 from both sides.

4x = 1180 - 944

4x = 236      

Divide by 4

x = 236/4

x = 59 weeks

What is the average rate of change from -3 to 0 of the function represented by the graph?
lbvjy [14]

Average rate of change = change in y ÷ change in x

We already know the change in x because we are measuring the x values from -3 to 0.

change in x = 0-(-3) = 3

To find the change in y find the difference between the corresponding y-values when x=0 and when x=-3.

change in y = 0.5-2 = -1.5

average rate of change = -1.5/3 = -0.5

answer: -0.5
