OK. Let's build this thing brick by brick,
one step at a time:

The number. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . N
==> Three times the number . . . . . . . . 3N
6 times the number. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6N
==> 28 more than 6 times the number . 6N + 28

You said the three times the number is the same
as 28 more than 6 times the number.
So I can write

3N = 6N + 28

That's the equation.
Subtract 3N from each side: 0 = 3N + 28

Now subtract 28 from each side: -28 = 3N

Now divide each side by 3 : N = - 28/3 .

That number is kind of weird, but it's the ONLY number
that behaves according to the description in the question.

Three times the number . . . . . -28
6 times the number . . . . . . . . . -56

-28 is 28 more than -56. yay!

Which parent function is represented by the graph?
sattari [20]

Answer:

D. The linear parent function

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear functions are always characterized by a straight line graph with or without an intercept on the vertical or horizontal axis. A linear function usually has an independent variable and a dependent variable. The independent variable is commonly depicted as x while the dependent variable is y.

Thus a linear equation is an equation of the type y=ax where a is a constant term. The equation of a straight line graph his y=mx +c, where;

m= gradient of the straight line graph

x= the independent variable

y= the dependent variable

c= the vertical intercept
