Answer:

  • 9

Explanation:

The given function, F(x) = 3/17x + 2, is a linear function. So it has a constant slope.

The coefficient of the variable x is the slope of the function: 3/17.

The slope of the function is the rate of change of the function with respect to x.

Thus:

  • slope = change of F(x) / change of x = ΔF / Δx = 3/17

Then, if x increases by 51 you have:

  • Δx = 51
  • ΔF / Δx = ΔF / 51 = 3 / 17

Now solve for ΔF = (3 / 17) × 51 = 9

Thus, you have obtained that if x increases by 51, F(x) increases by 9.
