8 0

Answer:

the number is -6  (assuming "3 lots of" means 3 times)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

1 less than a doubled number

2x-1

5 more than 3 lots of (times???) the number

3x+5

Solve for x

2x-1 = 3x + 5

-x = 5+1

x = -6

I don’t understand the question and I can’t find anything in my notes to help
lara [203]

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem states that you have a linear function so expect your equation to have this form:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. You are also given two points: P1(5, 6) and P2(14, 60). Use these points to solve for the slope m.

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (60 - 6)/(14 - 5)

= 54/9 = 6

So our equation now becomes

y = 6m + b

To solve for b, plug in the values of P1:

6 = 6(5) + b ---> b = -24

Therefore, our equation is

y = 6m - 24

The rest of the points are

(8, 24)

(11, 42)
