Jada and Priya are trying to solve the equation 23+x=4.

Jada says, “I think we should multiply each side by 32 because that is the reciprocal of 23.”
Priya says, “I think we should add -23 to each side because that is the opposite of 23.”
Which person’s strategy should they use? Why?
Write an equation that can be solved using the other person’s strategy.

Priyas

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to isolate the variable. To do that you would add -23 to 23 making it 0. You'd do the same to the other side making it -19. So x= -19

Check

23+-19=4

x= -3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify brackets

4 - x - 1 = 6

step 2: simpilfy

3 - x = 6

step 3: subtract 3 from both sides

-x = 6 - 3

step 4: simpilfy 6 - 3

-x = 3

step 5: multiply both sides by -1

x = -3

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).
