The formula to find the rate of change is y2-y1/x2-x1
6-(-4)/-3-(-1)
=10/-2
=-5
You can just simplify to make an equivalent equation:
(2)(3x + 8) = 5 ⇒ 6x + 16 = 5

Answer:
The Answer would be 4n
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Marcus ran four times as far this week, we need to know how far he ran last week in order to solve this expression. Since we do not know this information it becomes our variable (n). From the statement we can also infer that there is multiplication since he states the word "times". Therefore our Algebraic Expression would be the following.
P = 4n
P being distance ran by Marcus, and n being distance ran last week by Marcus.

4x+2x=180
6x= 180
Divide by 6
X= 30
