The correct answer is 50:1 I got that one right!
Her statement is possible, the first rectangle could be equal to the second because x is unknown so if x was 5in in the first rectangle and - 1 in the second rectangle both problems would look like this 2 in & 5 in and the second one 5in & (2 in = (-1 +3)).
-1.5 ------ f(x) = 3(-1.5) - 5
= -4.5 -5
= 9.5
2 -------- f(x) = 3(2) - 5
= 6 -5
= 1
4 -------- f(x) = 3(4) - 5
= 12 - 5
= 7
(9.5, 1 , 7)
Answer= 6.5y+12
distribute the 5 in the parentheses:
(-6y-3) + (15+12.5y)
(you can take away the parentheses after this step)
then add like terms together.
12.5y + (-6y) = 6.5y
15 + (-3) = 12
make it one expression.
6.5y + 12
Letter A is the answer because
4y = 15 - 3x
so y = 15/4 -3x/4
