Twice: 2 times
The sum of: add
A number: choose a variable, like x
---Thus "the sum of a number and 4" becomes "add x and 4" which, mathematically, is "x+4"
-----Continuing to put it all together, "Twice the sum of a number and four" becomes "2 times (x+4)" which, mathematically, is "2(x+4)"
Is: equals
-------"Twice the sum of a number and four is" becomes "2(x+4)="
23 less than: subtract 23. This one tends to trick people; "23 less than" will become "__ - 23", NOT "23 - __"
three times the number: 3 times x
---"23 less than three times the number" becomes "subtract 23 from 3 times x" which, mathematically, is "3x-23"
-------So the final phrase: 2(x+4)=3x-23"
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear function describes a straight line with constant gradient. Hence A is the answer as it has a constant gradient of -1 .
B is wrong as the graph has an undefined gradient.
C is wrong as it has an increasing gradient.
D is wrong as it does not have a constant gradient too.
4/5 mile in 1/2 hour.
1/2 * 2 = 1
4/5 * 2 = 8/5
8/5 miles per hour or 1.6 miles per hour
