What is the equation of the linear function represented by the table?

y = -3x+17

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the change in y corresponding to the change in x. In this case x is changing by +3 and y is changing by -3. That is your m in y=mx=b.

2. y= -3x + b

To find b substitute a set into the equation. I used 4 and 5.

5= -3(4) +b

3. 5= -12 +b ,add  12 to both sides.

17= b

4. y = -3x+17

step-by-step explanation:

answer: there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.

step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of pages in the book which olive has already read be x.

then if olive has 184 pages left to read, then the total number of pages are in olive's book= pages she has read+pages she has left to read

therefore, the total number of pages in olivia's book=

hence, there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.
