Y=mx+b m=-1.25
(5; -3)
-3=(-1.25)5+b
-3=-6.25+b
b=-3+6.25
b=3.25
so the equation is: y=(-1.25)x+3.25

I think of a number. If I divide the sum of 6 and the number by 3,the result is 4 more than one quarter of the number. Find the

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

Sum of the number and 6: $6+x$

Divide it by 3: $\frac{6+x}{3}$

Result is 4 more than one quarter of the number:

$\frac{6+x}{3} =4+\frac{1}{4} x$

Multiply both sides by 12:

$\frac{6+x}{3}\cdot \:12=4\cdot \:12+\frac{1}{4}x\cdot \:12$

Simplify:

$4\left(x+6\right)=48+3x$

Expand:

$4x+24=48+3x$

Subtract 24 from both sides:

$4x+24-24=48+3x-24$

$4x=3x+24$

Subtract 3x from both sides:

$4x-3x=3x+24-3x$

$x=24$

The number is 24.
