Let x, represent the number of minutes and y represents the number of gallons of water in the tub, then the ordered pairs (2, 30) and (5, 12) satisfies the equation.

Therefore the equation is given by: (y - 30)/(x - 2) = (12 - 30)/(5 - 2)
(y - 30)/(x - 2) = -18/3 x = -6
y - 30 =  -6(x - 2) = -6x + 12
y = -6x + 42

Required equation is y + 6x = 42.

If the product of a number and -4 is subtracted from the number, the result is 3 more than the number. Find the number
lesya [120]

Answer: The number is 0.75 or 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = the number.

Now set up an equation: The product of a number (x) and -4 = -4x. So -4x is subtracted from the number - x.     x-(-4x)

Then, that equals 3 more than the number (x) = x+3

So the equation is x-(-4x)=x+3.

Then, solve the equation!

x-(-4x)=x+3

x+4x=x+3  (Distribute the negative to the parentheses)

5x=x+3  (Combine like terms)

4x=3  (Get the Xs on one side by subtracting x from both sides)

x=0.75 or 3/4  (divide by the coefficiant, 4, on both sides)
