Complete the table below to solve the equation 2.5x − 10.5 = 64(0.5x). Table will be provided as the 1st image.

2. A newspaper started an online version of its paper 14 years ago. In a recent presentation to stockholders, the lead marketing executive states that the revenues for online ads have more than doubled that of the revenues for printed ads since starting the online version of the paper.( Graph will be provided below as the second image.)

Part a. Use the graph below to justify the lead executive’s statement.

Part b. Determine the approximate year that the two ad revenues were equal.

3. Two ocean beaches are being affected by erosion. The table shows the width, in feet, of each beach measured at high tide where 1995 is represented by year 0:( table will be provided below as the 3rd image)

Part A: Describe the patterns shown by the erosion data measurements shown for each of the beaches in the table.
Part B:Between which years will the beaches have approximately the same width?
Part C: Assuming these rates remain constant, what can you do to get a better approximation of when the two beaches will have the same width?

the answer is 13/48

step-by-step explanation:

here is me explaining it:

the pizza would be delivered around 5, give or take 15 minutes. this means it could be delivered anywhere from 4: 45 to 5: 15

let's say 5: 00 is equivalent to 0 on a number line and x represents time. 4: 45 would be equal to -15x because we are 15 minutes behind our starting point, 5: 00. 5: 15 would be equal to 15x because we are 15 minutes ahead of your starting point (which means you're late on the pizza delivery! )

absolute value is very confusing. the basic definition is how far you are from your starting point. if we deliver the pizza at 4: 45 (15 minutes before the starting point) we would be -15. this means we are 15 away from our starting point, 5: 00. that's the absolute value. |-15| (absolute value of negative fifteen) is equal to 15. if you did not understand this i suggest rereading this paragraph.

the normal way you would write this scenario would be 4.75 (4 and 3 quarters, or 4: 45. you can also write as a fraction.) is less than x and x is less than 5.25 (5 and 1 quarter or 5: 15). 4.75< x< 5.25 the reason why i am using numbers is because you cannot represent typical time as values on a graph, number line, or in an equation.

another way to write this scenario is with absolute value. we can write this as |x| being less than or equal to .25 (remember, this just means 15 minutes).           |x| ≤ .25.

sorry if the end was confusing. because we are talking about time this whole question is 10x harder. like i said earlier, you cannot represent time as, well, time, in a graph, equation, or number line. i set the values as follows: 1/4 or .25 for 15 minutes, and 1 for 1 hour. this is just a common way to set up graphs involving time.

|x| ≤ .25

i hope this ! : )
