Answer:

x= 4 2/3 OR 14/3 OR 4.6... –– 4 2/3 and 4.6... are the simplest form.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your original equation is -192 = -6 (6x - 4):

1. -192 = -6 (6x - 4)

Use distributive property and multiply: -6 x 6x = -36x and -6 x -4 = 24:

2. -192 = -36x + 24

We now move the +24 onto the other side of the equation, -192. Add 24 onto -192 and since we're moving the 24 on the left side of the equation, 24 will removed, so -24 on the right side of the equation:

3. -192 + 24 = -36x + 24 - 24

Divide both sides of the equations by -36 to get "x" by itself:

4. -168 / -36 = -36x / -36

Simplify the fraction of 24/36 by 12:

5. 4 24/36 = 4 2/3 or 14/3 or 4.6... = x

4 2/3, 14/3, 4.6... = x

You would add 20 to 62= 82. Then divide that by 2 to get Mindys height. Mindy is 41 inches tall. :)

"Increasing" and "decreasing" are references to what the y-values do when the x-values increase.

Attached is a copy of all four tables, marked with whether the y-values increased or decreased on each step (and it also shows how much that increase or decrease was.

The only table that does this is the top right table in the attachment, which is your second table.
