Let X = number of Giraffes
Number of elephants = 3X - 4
Because it was stated that there are more than 23 elephants, the number should not fall below 23.

The algebraic expression would be:

3X - 4 = 23

To get X; Transfer -4 to the other side, changing its sign to positive.

3X = 23 + 4
3X = 27

To get X; Divide both sides by 3
X = 27 / 3
X = 9

Since X represents the number of giraffes, then, there are 9 giraffes in the zoo.

To Check: Substitute X with 9 in the algebraic expression.

3X - 4 = 23
3(9) - 4 = 23
27 - 4 = 23
23 = 23 EQUAL

What is the slope for 1.(4,9) & (1,6)
Semenov [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

1.(4,9) & (1,6)

m=y²-y¹/x²-x¹

m=6-9/1-4

m=-3/-3

m= 1

2.(5,3) & (5,-9)

m=y²-y¹/x²-x¹

m=(-9)-3/5-5

m=-12/0

3.(2,1) & (8,9)

m=y²-y¹/x²-x¹

m=9-1/8-2

m=8/6

m= 4/3

4.(14,-8) & (7,-6)

m=y²-y¹/x²-x¹

m=(-6)-(-8)/7-14

m=2/-7

m= -2/7

5.(4,-3) & (8,-3)

m=y²-y¹/x²-x¹

m=(-3)-(-3)/8-4

m=0/4

m=0

6.(-11,1) & (-2,6)

m=y²-y¹/x²-x¹

m=6-1/(-2)-(-11)

m=5/9
