Answer:

The number is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : A number which decreased by 12 equals 3 times it’s opposite ?

Solution :

Let the number be 'x'.

It's opposite is '-x'.

A number which decreased by 12 equals 3 times it’s opposite

i.e. x - 12 = 3(-x)

Solving the equation,

x-12=-3x

x+3x=12

4x=12

x=\frac{12}{4}

x=3

Therefore, the number is 3.

What is the equation of this trend line?
solmaris [256]

Equation of this line is K = -2J + 28

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

The equation can be written in slope intercept form which is y = mx + b

Step 2:

Calculate slope of the line, m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

⇒ m = (24 - 20)/(2 - 4) = 4/-2) = -2

Step 3:

Find y-intercept of the line

⇒ b = 28

Step 4:

Substitute values in the equation

⇒ K = -2J + 28
