The first 5 is in the 10s place. The second is in the ones. To write this out, it would be 5 tens (50), plus 5 ones (5); 55. I don't know if this is what you were looking for, but I hope I could help in some way!
Answer: 3(5x - 4)
Step-by-step explanation: You first renarange your terms. Then you distribute them. Then you combine the the like terms. Then you find the common factor by factoring by group.
Part A: it is linear because it is not curving and it consists of straight lines.
Part B: in side A it is increasing because it has a positive slope. In side b it is constant because the slope is 0 since it is straight. Finally, side C is decreasing because the slope is negative.
Part C: during side A the ant is crawling out of the hole in 2 seconds. After that, the ant stops for 2 more seconds as shown in side B. Then, he crawls back into the hole as shown by the decrease in distance due to the slope.
Hope this helps!!!
