Answer:

3*( 8-2n)=5n

The number is 24/11

Step-by-step explanation:

three times

the difference of eight and twice a number

3*( 8-2n)

is five times the number

3*( 8-2n)=5n

To solve

Distribute

3*8 -3*2n = 5n

24 -6n = 5n

Add 6n to each side

24 - 6n +6n = 5n +6n

24 = 11n

Divide each side by 11

24/11 = 11n/11

24/11 =n

The number is 24/11

Write an equation of the line that passes through the point (5, -8) with slope 5

Oxana [17]

$\Large\texttt{Answer}$

$equation=$ $\bold{y=5x-33}$

$\overline{\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad}$

$\Large\texttt{Process}$

⇨ Use the formula below

$\bf{y-\hfill\stackrel{y \:co-ordinate}{y1}=\hfill\stackrel{slope}{m}(x-\hfill\stackrel{x\:co-ordinate}{x1)}}$

⇨ Substitute the parameters:

$\bold{y-(-8)=5(x-5)}$

$\bold{y+8=5x-25}$

$\bold{y=5x-33}$

What is the Slope of a line that passes through the points (-3,5) and (1,7) ?

Naya [18.7K]

Find the change in the y coordinates

7-5=2

Find the change in the x coordinates

1--3 or 1+3= 4

Divide the changes in the y and x coordinates

2/4= 1/2

The slope is 1/2. Hope this helps!

Answer:f(x)=x2 +1

Step-by-step explanation:

The one represents C in the standard form and it can also be used to represent graph placement so +1 can also represent the vertex going up 1 on the y
