The sum of (-9) and a number (n) is multiplied by 1/2. the result is 20. what is the number?

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(-9+n)=20

n=40+9

n=49

49

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum means add

-9+n

Multiply this by 1/2

1/2(-9+n)

This is equal to 20

1/2(-9+n) = 20

Solve

Multiply each side by 2 to get rid of the fraction

2*1/2(-9+n) = 20*2

-9+n = 40

Add 9 to each side

-9+9 +n = 40+9

n = 49

  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).
