So the equation is x + 2x + 5= 29
Here are the steps            -5    -5
                               -----------------------
                                        3x   = 24
      Divide both sides by 3 so you get
                                          x = 8
Then look back at the question, the second number has to be twice that number plus 5
                 So the 1st number is 8 The second # is 2(8)+5= 21

Can I get help with this?

Answer:

y-4=7(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the slope of the line (7) and the point (1,4) and we need to find the equation in point-slope form.

Point-slope form is given as y- $y_{1}$ =m(x- $x_{1}$ ) where m is the slope and ( $x_{1}$ , $y_{1}$ ) is a point

We have all of the needed information for the equation, but let's first label the values of everything in order to avoid confusion

m=7

$x_{1}$ =1

$y_{1}$ =4

now substitute into the formula:

Hope this helps! :)
