2x + 4(-6x + 12) = -84
2x - 24x + 48 = -84
-22x + 48 = -84
-22x = -84 - 48
-22x = -132
x = -132/-22
x = 6
hope this helps, God bless!
Answer:
<u>The approximate total weight of the grapefruits, using the clustering estimation technique is B. 35 ounces.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
We notice that the weights of the grapefruits given are slightly down or above 7, then we will use <em>7 as our cluster</em> for the estimation, as follows:
Weights
7.47 ⇒ 7
7.23 ⇒ 7
6.46 ⇒ 7
7.48 ⇒ 7
6.81 ⇒ 7
<u>Now we can add up 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 for the weights of the grapefruits and the approximate total weight is B. 35 ounces.</u>
The point-slope form of the equation of the line is:
(y - y1) = m (x - x1)
So, (y + 2) = - 1/3 (x - 4) in the point-slope form is:
[y - (-2) ] = (-1/3) [ x - 4 ]
You must, then realize that the line passes through the point (4,-2) and its slope is - 1 /3.
That slope, -1 / 3, means that the function is decresing (because the slope is negative), and it decreases one unit when x increases 3 units.
Now you can fill in the blanks in this way:
Plot the point (4, -2), move 1 unit down, and 3 units over to find the next point on the line.
