An anchor chain has 32 links lying on a ship's deck, while the rest of the chain is below deck height. each time the raise-anchor control is activated, 9 more links come over the edge to lie on the deck

write a linear function that models the number of chain links on deck after n activations of the raise-anchor control.

*hint:

common difference is the slope (m)
initial value is the y-intercept (b)
function notation:

  f(n) = 9n +32

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement and hint tell you how to fill in the values of the form ...

  y = mx + b

Here, you have "n" (not "x") as the independent variable, and you want functional form (f(n) =, not y =). So the form you're filling in with m=9, b=32 is ...

  f(n) = mn +b

After the substitution, you have ...

  f(n) = 9n +32

no, the equation would be invalid since they are both not equal.

step-by-step explanation:

here you got

4y-6+4y 2-9

first, you would simplify the equation on the form.

4y-6+4y 2-9

then, move all the terms that contains a y to the left and all the other terms to the right.

+4y-4y+-9-6

finally, you will simplify the left and the right side of the equation.

y=-3
