Step-by-step explanation:
The original number is x.
The new number is 3x + 5.
We know that 0.5(3x + 5) = 16, so 3x + 5 = 32.
3x + 5 = 32, 3x = 27, x = 9.
Hence the original number is 9.
Answer:
-27 = x
4x+27=3x
Subtract 4x from each side
4x-4x+27=3x-4x
27 = -x
Multiply by -1
slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (2--1)/(5-1)
= (2+1)/(4)
=3/4
The point slope from of a line is
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y--1 = 3/4 (x-1)
y+1 = 3/4 (x-1)
