-1/3 m - 7 = 5
add 7 to each side
-1/3 m = 12
multiply by -3 to each side
m = -36
The answer is 5
Here are the steps:
First off, we will be using the distance formula of

So we have the ordered pairs of (3,1) and (6,5)
Once you plug them into the formula it should look like this:

Now we do the math inside the parenthesis and end up with:

Then you multiply by the power and simplify to get:

And the

=5
So your answer is
5
425 is decreased to 319.
The above statement means that a number should be deducted from 425 to get the difference of 319.
Let x be the unknown number.
425 - x = 319
425 - 319 = x
106 = x
106 is the unknown number.
