Each month, a shopkeeper spends 5x + 14 dollars on rent and electricity. if he spends 3x−5 dollars on rent, how much does he spend on electricity? for which value(s) of x is the amount the shopkeeper spends on electricity less than $100? explain how you found the value(s).

Use a calculator to verify that σ(x) = 62, σ(x2) = 1034, σ(y) = 644, σ(y2) = 93,438, and σ(x y) = 9,622. compute r. (enter a number. round your answer to three decimal places.) as x increases from 3 to 22 months, does the value of r imply that y should tend to increase or decrease? explain your answer. given our value of r, y should tend to increase as x increases. given our value of r, we can not draw any conclusions for the behavior of y as x increases. given our value of r, y should tend to remain constant as x increases. given our value of r, y should tend to decrease as x increases.
