In the equation 6x – 2 = –4x + 2, Spencer claims that the first step is to add 4x to both sides. Jeremiah claims that the first

step is to subtract 6x from both sides. Who is correct? Explain.

To determine who is accurate, consider the steps:

<span>6x - 2 = -4x + 2

Spencer:
</span>Add 4x to both sides:
6x - 2 + 4x = -4x + 2 + 4x
Resulting in 10x - 2 = 2

Jeremiah:
Subtract 6x on both sides:
6x - 2 - 6x = -4x + 2 - 6x
Resulting in -2 = -10x + 2

Both methods are valid, but Jeremiah’s approach will require multiplying by -1 or adding 10x later, which Spencer’s method avoids initially.

Example response: Both approaches are correct since applying inverse operations and using properties of equality properly leads to the same answer. Each method isolates the variable on a single side.

The table shows the estimated number of lines of code written by computer programmers per hour when x people are working.
Zina [12379]

Answer:

Therefore, the data is best represented by:

y=26.9x-1.3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a table indicating the estimated lines of code produced by computer programmers per hour when x individuals are engaged.

The question asks which model accurately reflects this data.

To determine this, we will substitute the values of x into each function to see which one accurately produces the corresponding y (f(x)) values provided in the table:

We are presented with four functions, which are:

A)

y = 47(1.191)^x

B)

y=34\times (1.204)^x

C)

y=26.9x-1.3

D)

y=27x-4

We'll create a table displaying these values at various x levels.

x                  A                 B                C               D

2              66.66          49.3            52.5           50

4             94.57            71.44           106.3         104  

6             134.14           103.57         160.1          158

8             190.27          150.14          213.9         212

10           269.91           217.64         267.7         266

12           382.85          315.5           321.5          320.

Thus, the function that suitably represents the data is:

Option C.

y=26.9x-1.3
