Pls meee with this question i have been stuck on it for forever

The rate of change is the slope.

That equation is (practically) in the form of y=mx+b because T(d) is very similar to y.

T(d) = 39.27d+36.77

   y =        mx+b

In this case, d would equal x. T(d) would equal y. 36.77 would equal b.

m is the slope, or the rate of change.

The rate of change is the variable, d, or the answer choice, a: the number of drinks purchased.

y < -3

step-by-step explanation:

-3y - 2 > 7

-3y -2 + 2 > 7+2

-3y > 9

-3y/-3 < 9/-3   (change the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number)

y < -3

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this
