Linear, because the points (1,8) (2,6) (3,4) etc are decreasing at a constant rate of -2.
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value of x make sure to get it on one side
First subtract 3x from each side. This makes the equation now
3x + 2 = -8 + 25
Now see what 25 subtract by 8 is (17)
3x + 2 = 17
Next subtract 2 from both sides
3x = 15
Lastly, divide 15 by 3, making x equal 5
x = 5
16x^2 -1 = 0
16x^2 = 1
x^2 = 1/16
x= 1/4
