Hi there!

The inequality for this situation is

12x + 4 <= 23
Where <em>x </em>is the number.

Hope this helps!

Let x be the number.

Twelve times the number x is 12·x=12x.

The number 12x increased by four is 12x+4. This result is no more than twenty-three, then

12x+4≤23.

Answer: 12x+4≤23.

parallel lines, have the same exact slope, hmmm what is the slope of y = -2/3 x + 1/3 anyway? well, low and behold, the equation is already in slope-intercept form, therefore

$\bf ~~y=\stackrel{slope}{-\cfrac{2}{3}}x+\cfrac{1}{3}~~$ has a slope of -2/3.

so we're really looking for a line whose slope is -2/3 and runs through 9,4.

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{9}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})~\hspace{10em}slope = m\implies -\cfrac{2}{3}\\\\\\\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-4=-\cfrac{2}{3}(x-9)\\\\\\y-4=-\cfrac{2}{3}x+6\implies y=-\cfrac{2}{3}x+10$
