The given equation is:

Multiply through by 3.

12x-24=16×3

12x-24=48

Group similar terms:

12x=48+24

12x=72

Divide both sides by 12

x=6

from the figure we get,

the x axis shows   the months and,

the y-axis shows the number of satisfied customer.

each line or each cell in upward direction (y-axis) shows 500.

the appropriate scale for the y - axis is: -

a = 2000 customers

b = 4000 customers

c = 6000 customers

d = 8000 customers

e = 10000 customers

f = 12000 customers

g = 14000 customers
