The change in growth was 14 - 0.5 = 13.5 inches.
Since it is over the course of 5 weeks, divide 13.5 by 5.
13.5/5 = 2.7
2.7 = 270%
The rate of change was 270%. Hope this helps!
If the question is supposed to be

Now multiply both sides by 3 to get 3(-21)=-63=e
Answer:
x not given
therefore no answer for x
Take away the bottom equation from the top so the y’s cancel out
3x = -24
x therefore = -8
and put x back into the equation to find out y
2(-8) + y= 32
-16 + y =32
y= 48
The answer will be A. Hope it help!
