The line graph shows the cost of inflation in some country. What cost $10,000 in 1975 would cost the amount shown by the graph in subsequent years. Below are two mathematical models for the data shown in the graph. In each formula, C represents the cost x years after 1980 of what cost $10,000 in 1975. Answer parts a through c.
Model 1 C = 861x + 15,005
Model 2 C= - 2x2 +923x + 14,264

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions

45

step-by-step explanation:

168

step-by-step explanation:

first off, we know that he drove 3.5 hours at a rate of 48 mph.

knowing that, we want to see how many miles he drove all-together.

in this case, we can just multiply 48 by 3.5.

48 * 3.5 = 168
