Answer:

The number is 4.

The step describe to solve the problem is: add five and then multiply by \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

As per the given condition as:

The difference of twice a number and five is three.

"Twice a number" means 2x

"difference of twice a number and five" means 2x -5

therefore, the translation of the given word problem to an equation is:

2x-5 =3

Now, solve the equation : 2x-5 =3

Addition Property of equality states that you add the same number to both sides of an equation.

Add 5 to both sides of an equation we get;

2x-5+5=3+5

Simplify:

2x = 8

Multiplication property of equality states that you multiply the same number to both sides of an equation.

Multiply by \frac{1}{2} both sides we get;

2x \times \frac{1}{2} = 8 \times \frac{1}{2}

Simplify:

x = 4

The steps which describe to solve the problem is: add five and then multiply by \frac{1}{2}

Therefore, the number x = 4

LEt the number be x.
2x - 5 = 3
2x = 3 + 5 = 8
x = 8/2 = 4

To solve the equation: add 5 to both sides and then multiply by 1/2.

Find the slope of the line that contains the following points. R(-3, 5), S(3, -2) 7/6 7/6 undefined
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

-\frac{7}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the slope formula for the segment that joins any two points (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2):

slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

which in our case gives:

slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}  = \frac{-2-5}{3-(-3)}=\frac{-7}{6} =-\frac{7}{6}
