Perform indicated multiplication on left side..
4-x+2=2x-12+3x combine like terms on both sides
-x+6=5x-12 subtract 5x from both sides
-6x+6=-12 subtract 6 from both sides
-6x=-18 divide both sides by -6
x=3
23 over 21 is the right answer
23

21
The equation would be:
y = 3x + 15
1) Table: It is pretty easy to do so, just plug in 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. for x and solve for y
2) graph (find slope): slope would be 3 shells/day that has a y-intercept of 15
3) you already defined the variables
4) 3(5)+15 = 15+15 = 30 seashells
I hope this helps!
Answer:
5.16
Step-by-step explanation:
Since after x=3, value of y starts decreasing for increasing values of x, let's choose. Also we need to find f(x) for x=3.4
x=3,4,5 and f(x)=7,3,1 to find lagrange polynomial
P(x)= ((x-x2)(x-x3)y1)/((x1-x2)(x1-x3) + ((x-x1)(x-x3)y2)/((x2-x1)(x2-x3) + ((x-x1)(x-x2)y3)/((x3-x1)(x3-x2)
P(x)= ((x-4)(x-5)7)/((3-4)(3-5)) + ((x-3)(x-5)3)/((4-3)(4-5)) + ((x-3)(x-4)1)/((5-3)(5-4))
P(x)= x² -11x+31
P(3.4)= 5.16
