You must have these backwards as 1/34 lb is less than 1/4 lb. finding a common denominator, we get (17/68 - 2/68)/(1/4) = 60/68 = 15/17 lb/hour

$\bf slope = m = \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{ f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{ x_2 - x_1}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
average~rate\\

\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
f(x)= x^3-x \qquad 
\begin{cases}
x_1=1\\
x_2=5
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(5)-f(1)}{5-1}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{[5^3-5]~-~[1^3-1]}{4}\implies \cfrac{125-5~~-~~0}{4}\implies \cfrac{120}{4}\implies 30$

kenny6666 [7]

-2x + 16 < = 10
-2x < = 10 - 16
-2x < = - 6
x > = -6/-2
x > = 3............so any number that is 3 or above is in the solution set
