Companies were in competition with each other. They began the same year. The equation representation for
each company is below. The variable y represents the
number of employees. The variable x represents the
years after the start of the companies.

XYZ Company: y = 3x +24
ABC Company: y = 4x +10

• XYZ Company states, "We hired 42 employees, the
same number as ABC Company has this year." Is
XYZ Company's statement possible? Show math
work to explain your reasoning.

• ABC Company states, "In 15 years, our company will
have the same number of employees as XYZ
Company." Is ABC Company's statement possible?

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !

step-by-step explanation:

i'm a sophomore in connections, i'd recommend checking on jishka.com they have a large range of questions and answers from our school.

answer: c

substitute in the values.

for a:

f(0) = 0 + 9

f(0) = 9

a is a solution.

for b:

f(7) = 14 + 9

f(7) = 23

b is a solution.

for c:

f (3) = 6 + 9

f(3) = 15

c is not a solution. it's supposed to be 14.

for d:

f(2) = 4 + 9

f(2)= 13

d is a solution.
