Hello there!
The expected population for Valleytown cannot be modeled with an exponential function since it is not being multiplied nor divided. This would be an arithmetic function/sequence since it is adding. It also has a fixed increase value while in an exponential function it changes.
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.<span>17=<span><span>3<span>(<span>g+3</span>)</span></span>−g</span></span>
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.<span>17=<span><span>3<span>(<span>g+3</span>)</span></span>−g</span></span><span>
Simplify: (Show steps)</span><span>17=<span><span>2g</span>+9</span></span>
Step 2: Flip the equation.<span><span><span>2g</span>+9</span>=17</span>
Step 3: Subtract 9 from both sides.<span><span><span><span>2g</span>+9</span>−9</span>=<span>17−9</span></span><span><span>2g</span>=8</span>
Step 4: Divide both sides by 2.<span><span><span>2g</span>2</span>=<span>82</span></span><span>g=4</span>
Answer:<span>g=<span>4</span></span>
The sign of "b" on the numerator should be negative. So we conclude that the correct option is false.
<h3>Is the equation in the image correct or incorrect?</h3>
For a quadratic equation of the form:

By using the Bhaskara's formula, the solutions of the equation:

Are given by the formula:

Notice that the sign of the first term on the numerator should be negative, while on the image it is positive.
So the equation shown in the image is incorrect.

Equation: y = 6 - 2x
Fill in the x numbers in the x which is next to -2 —> y = 6 - 2(0), y = 6 -2(1), y = 6 -2(3), and etc.
A) 0 —> 6
1 —> 4
2 —> 2
3 —> 0
4 —> -2
5 —> -4
B) Put a dot on y axis on number 6, then go down by 2 because your subtracting 2
C) 6 - 2x = 3
-6 -6
-2x = -3
-2/-2 -3/-2
X = 1.5
