1. What is the next step in this equation? *
10 points

Cancel out the bases because they are alike, and solve for x using only the exponents

-3x = 4

divide both sides by -3

x = -4/3

correct choice is b

step-by-step explanation:

when you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. for the function the average rate of change from point to point can be calculated as

to find the average rate of change from day 2 to day 10, note that at day 2, 8 houses were sold, so a(2,8) and at day 10, 2 houses were sold, so b(10,2). thus,
