Mr. Mole left his burrow that lies below the ground and started digging his way at a constant rate deeper

into the ground. After 5 minutes of descending at a rate of 1.8 meters per minute, he was 13.5 meters

below the ground

Let y represent Mr. Mole's altitude (in meters) relative to the ground after 3 minutes.

Complete the equation for the relationship between the altitude and number of minutes,

d. 9

step-by-step explanation:

in the table given in the picture, x is the input of the function and f(x) is the output on the given input. in the given table, it can be read as the value of function at -3 is it's respective value of f(x) which is -9.

as we have to find the value of f(3), we will see that what is the value of output on input 3. we can see in the table that the output value at x=3 is 9.

so, option d is the correct answer ..

sorry man i accidentally pressed yes my bad

step-by-step explanation:

starting with:    

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7   

5 + x - 12 - x = 2x - 7 - x (subtract x from both sides)   

5 - 12 = x - 7 (combine and cancel x's from both sides)   

5 - 12 + 7 = x - 7 + 7 (add 7 to both sides)   

0 = x (add numbers together on both sides)       

so in order for the equation to be true, x must be 0.   

trying x = -0.5   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = 2(-0.5) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = -1 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7.5 = -8 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7.5 is obviously not equal to -8, the value of -0.5 for x is wrong.   

trying x = 0   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 2(0) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 0 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7 = -7 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7 equals -7, that demonstrates that the value of 0 for x is correct.   

trying x = 1   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2(1) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-6 = -5 (did addition on both sides)       

since -6 is obviously not equal to -5, the value of 1 for x is wrong.
