Make a horizontal line on the paper. You may draw arrows on the ends of the line to indicate it is a number line that continues past your data sample.
Put the label "X" to the right of the line to indicate the x axis.
Mark the center of the line with a vertical tick mark and label it 0. This is the origin of the graph.
Make equally spaced tick marks on the rest of the x axis. For this example you should label the tick marks from 1 to 10 on the right side of the 0.
1) 9x + 2 = x + 5 ---> 9x + 2 = 6
subtracted X from one side but not the other
2) 3(x-4) + 5 = 12 ---> 3x + 4 + 5 = 12
didn't distribute correctly: 3(x-4)
multiplied the X by 3 but not the -4
It is in the right order
3/6, 2/5, 1/4
1/5 = x/1100
5x = 1100
x = 1100 ÷ 5
x = 220
So 220 people named blue as fav.
3/10 = x/1100
3x = 1100
x = 1100 ÷ 3
x = 366.6666.... = 367
So 367 people chose red
