Lorelai Pineda · Answer 1

The average rate of change of g (x) between x = 4 and x = 7 is. Which statement must be true?

Skip · Answer 2

20 = m + r

60 = 2m + 6r

Using substitution, you would subtract R from both sides in the first equation.

20 - r = m

Substitute (20 - r) for m in the second equation.

60 = 2 (20 - r) + 6r

Distribute the 2

60 = 40 - 2r + 6r

Combine like terms.

20 = 4r

Divide both sides by 4

5 = r

Now put R back into the first equation.

20 - 5 = m

15 = m

There were 15 multiple choice and 5 extended response questions.
