Answer:
option d.
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Multiply the top equation by 3 and the bottom equation by 4.</em>
The borders are shown in the picture attached.
As you can see, starting with border 1, we have 6 daises (white squares) surrounded by 10 tulips (colored squares). Through Jerry's expression we expected:
<span>8(b − 1) + 10 =
</span>8(1 − 1) + 10 =
0 + 10 =
10 tulips.
When considering border 2, we expect:
<span>8(b − 1) + 10 =
</span>8(2 − 1) + 10 =
8 + 10 =
<span>18 tulips.
Indeed, we have the 10 tulips from border 1 and 8 additional tulips, for a total of 18 tulips.
Then, consider border 3, we expect:
</span><span>8(b − 1) + 10 =
</span>8(3 − 1) + 10 =
16 + 10 =
26<span> tulips.
Again, this is correct: we have the 10 tulips used in border 1 plus other 16 tulips, for a total of 26.
Therefore, Jerry's expression is
correct.</span>
By the Pythagorean theorem,

Answer:
y = 2x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Two points on this line are (-2, 0) and (0, 4). Going from the first to the second, x increases by 2 (this is the 'run') and y increases by 4 ('rise').
Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = 4/2 = 2
Using the slope-intercept formula, we get y = mx + b = 2x + b
Let x = -2 and y = 0 to find b: 0 = 2(-2) + b, so b = 4, and the desired equation is then:
y = 2x + 4
