Find the rate of change, (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), from the data given...
(2.16-1.26)/(12-7)=0.18
(1.26-0.72)/(7-4)=0.18
Since the rate is constant, this is a linear equation of the form y=mx+b. Furthermore, since 0 pencils cost 0, b=0, so the cost of the pencils is simply the number of pencils times 18 cents...
c(p)=0.18p (cost with respect to pencils is 0.18 times the number of pencils)
The problem is: d=rt
you are solving for r
d=rt
-- --
t t
you divide both sides by r, so your answer is:
d/t=r or r=d/t
I hope this helped! :))

Given at you have an equilateral triangle, all sides have the same length.
Therefore,
First side 2x-7 = Second side x+y-9 = Third side y+5
Let us look at the second and third sides for now:
x+y-9 = y+5
x = y+5 - (y-9)
x = y-y+5+9
x = 14
Then we look at equating the first and third sides:
2x-7 = y+5
y = 2x-7-5
Substitute x =14 in the equation above:
y = 2(14)-7-5
= 28-7-5
= 21-5
= 16
The length of the third side is:
y+5 = 16 +5 = 21
Given that the length of each sides are the same in an equilateral triangle, all sides have the length 21cm.
