Solve for x: −2(x + 3) = −2(x + 1) − 4. (1 point) a 2 b 3 c all real numbers d no solution

-2(x + 3) = -2(x + 1) - 4

-2x - 6 = -2x - 2 - 4        distributed -2 on the left and on the right

-2x - 6 = -2x - 6

+2x       +2x      

     -6 =        -6

        TRUE

Since this is a true statement, there are infinite solutions (aka All Real Numbers)

C

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).
