The answer to your question is 8.6

A linear function has 1 as the highest power of the variable.
A. f(x) = 2 - 7x
here, the highest power of the variable x is 1.
Hence it is a LINEAR function.
___________
B. f(x) = 2 + x + x^2
here, the highest power of the variable x is 2.
Hence it is NOT a linear function.
_______________

here, the highest power of the variable x is 1/2.
Hence it is NOT a linear function.

The probability of the person be set to sit in an aisle seat is 8/12.
Add 13 to both sides
13 = 2x + 15x
Simplify right side
13 = 17x
Divide through by 17
13/17 = x
Answer:
-24+12(d-3)+22=-24+34(d-3)
10(d-3)
10d=-30
d=-30/10
d=3
