If you compare table values to answer choices, you can see right away that several don't work. The number of centimeters is greater than the number of inches, so adding to or multiplying the number of centimeters by some number more than 1 will not give you the smalller number that is inches.
While it may work for the first number (5 inches) to add 7.7 to get the first number of centimeters (12.7), you have to know that you can only add like to like. You can only add inches to inches (getting a result of inches), or centimeters to centimeters (getting a result of centimeters). From the point of view of the units involved, it is <em>nonsensical</em> to add a pure number to a number of inches and expect to get a number of centimeters.
So, we're down to the second choice:
- The number of inches is multiplied by 2.54 to find the number of centimeters.
_____
To find the pattern in the table, you can ...
- observe that the inch values differ by 1
- observe that the centimeter values differ by 2.54
- realize that the constant differences mean the relation between inches and centimeters is linear, and that a change in an inch value of 1 inch is multiplied by 2.54 to find the corresponding change in centimeter value.

Answer:
2<x<4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation of a graph to be y = |3x− 5|, if the equation is one unit to the right, this can be expressed as |3x-5| > 1.
Solving the resulting equation
|3x-5| > 1.
Since the function 3x-5 is in a modulus sign, this means that the function can take both negative and positive values.
For positive value of the function;
+(3x-5) > 1
3x > 1+5
3x>6
x>6/3
x>2 ... (1)
For the negative value of the function;
-(3x-5) > 1
On expansion
-3x+5 > 1
-3x > 1-5
-3x > -4
Multiplying through by -1 will also change the inequality sign
x < -4/-3
x < 4/3...(2)
Combining equation 1 and 2, we have;
2<x<4/3
The answer would be:
A translation 5 units down, followed by a 180-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin

In order to solve this, you have to plug in all of the costs of the gifts and add them, which in all equals $36. since jim only has 1/4 of the money he needs to buy the gifts, you need to divide 36 by 4. this gives you 9, so now you know he has 9 dollars.
and to find out how much more money he needs, you can subtract 9 from 36 which represents a fourth of the required money. the answer is 27, that's how much jim needs in order to buy his gifts.
Solve how much the salesperson makes in option A and use that value as the 5% of the total of sales to solve for option B
