Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number. The problem statement tells you ...
2/3(3x +6) = 10
2x +4 = 10 . . . . . . use the distributive property
x +2 = 5 . . . . . . . . divide by 2
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 3
The number is 3.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
The above shows an "alternative" solution method. The more usual way this might be done is ...
2(3x +6) = 30 . . . . . multiply by 3 to clear fractions
6x +12 = 30 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
6x = 18 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert them all to the form y = mx + c
1)
4x + 3y = 15
3y = -4x + 15
y = -4/3 x + 5
2)
3x - 4y = -8
-4y = -3x - 8
4y = 3x + 8
y = 3/4x + 2
3)
y + 1 = 4/3(x - 6)
y + 1 = 4/3x - 8
y = 4/3x - 9
4)
y = 3/4x - 5
