Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
5(2x-5) +10x = 75
10x -25 +10x = 75
20x - 25 = 75
20x = 100
x = 5
Since we are asked to find the rate of change from Monday to Wednesday, we are dividing by 2, since Monday is day 1 and Wednesday is day 3. 3 - 1 = 2.
1800 + 500 = 2300 calories consumed Tuesday.
2300 - 100 = 2200 calories Wednesday.
(2200 - 1800)/2 = 400/2 = 200 calories
