Determine the rate of change and what the rate of change represents in this situation.

Tomas is making trail mix using granola and walnuts. he can spend a total of $12 on the ingredients. he buys 3 pounds of granola that costs $2.00 per pound. the walnuts cost $6 per pound. he uses the equation to represent the total cost, where x represents the number of pounds of granola and y represents the number of pounds of walnuts. he solves the equation for y, the number of pounds of walnuts he can buy. answer- b tomas added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6. just took the test

If c(x) = 4x – 2 and d(x) = x2 + 5x, what is (cxd)(x)

(05.03 mc) part a: explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = 4x and y = 2x−2 intersect are the solutions of the equation 4x = 2x−2. (4 points) part b: make tables to find the solution to 4x = 2x−2. take the integer values of x between −3 and 3. (4 points) part c: how can you solve the equation 4x = 2x−2 graphically? (2 points)
