The function representing the price of the ring x years after 2000 is f(x) = (100 + 35)/100 *x + 590 = 135/100 *x + 590 = 1.35x + 590
i.e. f(x) = 1.35x + 590

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
3(x - 2) + 8 = 2(x + 5)
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- (Parenthesis) Distribute: 3x - 6 + 8 = 2x + 10
- Combine like terms: 3x + 2 = 2x + 10
- {Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2x on both sides: x + 2 = 10
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2 on both sides: x = 8
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 3(8 - 2) + 8 = 2(8 + 5)
- (Parenthesis) Subtract/Add: 3(6) + 8 = 2(13)
- Multiply: 18 + 8 = 26
- Add: 26 = 26
Here we see that 26 does indeed equal 26.
∴ x = 8 is the solution to the equation.
The rate of change is (amount of the change) / (time it took to change) .
Amount of the change = (3 - 1) = 2 .
Rate of change = (2) / (time it took to change from 1 to 3) .
