The answer would be y = 6x.
The reason for this is that when we add a number in front of x, it makes it go up vertically by the factor of that number. So if we are to stretch the graph vertically, the only way we can do it is by making 6 the coefficient.
Here, I'll do the first one for you.
When they are talking about a number, use "x".
Since it says twice a number, you say 2x. Or 3x for three times the number
2x+12=3x-31
Then use algebra to find x. Get the numbers on one side and all the x's on the other.
2x+12+31=3x-31+31
2x+43-2x=3x-2x
x=43
Now do the rest on your own!
Twice a number (2x) decreased by 7 (- 7).
2x - 7
Two times a specfic number (x) subtracted by 7.
Answer:
x=9
