Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Do this step by step.
Let the number = x
1/3 of a number = 1/3 x
Added to itself 1/3x + x
=
3*(x - 7)
So the equation is
1/3x + x = 3(x - 7) Remove the brackets. Collect 1/3x and x
4/3 x = 3x - 21 Multiply both sides by 3.
4x = 3*(3x - 21) Remove the brackets again
4x = 9x - 63 Subtract 9x from both sides
-5x = -63 Divide by -5
x = -63/-5
x = 12.6
Just use y2-y2/x2-x1
so
1+5 (because subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive)
4-2
6/2
or 3/1 which is the same as 3
