Which expression can be simplified to the form 3\y + 3, where y is a positive integer?

Choice B)

========================================================

Explanation:

Let's rewrite the given expression like so

We can see that the radicand is a multiple of 9 since 9 is a factor.

This immediately rules out choices C and D because 75 and 84 are not multiples of 9.

-------------

Plug in the smallest positive integer (1) for y to get

The radicand 36 is larger than the radicand for choice A (18), meaning we can rule out choice A. There's no way to get a radicand of 18 since y = 1 is the smallest we can go for.

We can however get to 63 by using y = 4

Showing that choice B is of the form where y is a positive integer, specifically when y = 4.

problem:

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this !

dalila is incorrect. the whisker on the left is very long, going all the way out to 5. the whisker goes from 5 to 30, so it has a spread of 25. the rest of the box plot values are closer together, so 5 is an outlier
