Jorge says the first step to solving the equation below is to combine like terms on each side of the equal sign. David says you should distribute first then isolate x. Which perspective do you agree with and why? Determine the solution to the equation. x + 2x + 3 + 3 = 3(x + 2)

The table below represents the displacement of a fish from its reef as a function of time: time (hours) x displacement from reef (feet) y 0 4 1 64 2 124 3 184 4 244 part a: what is the y-intercept of the function, and what does this tell you about the fish? (4 points) part b: calculate the average rate of change of the function represented by the table between x = 1 to x = 3 hours, and tell what the average rate represents. (4 points) part c: what would be the domain of the function if the fish continued to swim at this rate until it traveled 724 feet from the reef? (2 points)
