Answer:
B. y = 1.5x +8
Step-by-step explanation:
You can try x=4 in the various equations to see which gives the right value (14).
__
A: y = -8(4) +1.5 = -30.5
B: y = 1.5(4) +8 = 14 . . . . . . . . . this equation works
C: y = 8(4) +1.5 = 33.5
D: y = -1.5(4) +8 = 2
__
Alternatively, you can use the 2-point form of the equation of a line to write the equation:
y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1
y = (20 -14)/(8 -4)(x -4) +14 . . . . fill in (x1, y1) = (4, 14); (x2, y2) = (8, 20)
y = 1.5(x -4) +14 . . . . . simplify somewhat
y = 1.5x +8 . . . . . . . . write in slope-intercept form
One number (a) exceeds another number (b) by 11 so
a = b+11
a + b = 77
Substitute the equation for a into the second equation
(b+11) + b = 77
multiply each side by 1 to remove parentheses
b + 11 + b = 77
Combine like terms
2b + 11 = 77
Isolate the variable
2b = 77-11
Simplify
2b = 66
Divide by 2
b = 33
Now substitute b back into the initial equation for a
a = (33) + 11
a = 44
Check your work by substituting both values into the second equation
44 + 33 = 77
This is true, so 44 and 33 are solutions
60(1+.04)x^2 goes through the origin
You have to do like draw a number line and do the opposite and you'll get your answer and add them together and you'll get 45.5
