There really isn't a right or wrong answer since this is a prediction but to solve this look at the graph and try to see the pattern
1st piece = x
2nd piece = x+2
3rd piece = x+2+3 = x+5
37 = x +x+2 + x+5 =
37 = 3x+7
30=3x
x = 30/3 = 10
1st piece = 10 inches
2nd piece = 10+2 = 12 inches
3rd piece = 10+5 = 15 inches
Answer:
-23/2
Step-by-step explanation:
x-5=3(x+6)
x-3x=18+5
-2x=23
x=-23/2
Answer:
y = -2x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx + c
m is the gradient and c is the y intercept
m = (y 2 - y 1) / (x 2 - x 1) = (2-4) / ( 2-1) = -2
y= -2x + c
To find c, just sub one of the coordinates into the eqn:
By using the coordinates (1,4)
4 = -2(1) + c
c = 6
Therefore, the equation is y = -2x + 6
