5 more than 3 times a variable, x, is 23

3x + 5 = 23

5 more than(addition) 3 times(multiplication) a variable(x) is(equals) 23

(you add 5 to 3x)

If you need to solve for "x", you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:

3x + 5 = 23        Subtract 5 on both sides

3x + 5 - 5 = 23 - 5

3x = 18      Divide 3 on both sides to get "x" by itself

\frac{3x}{3} =\frac{18}{3}

x = 6

Which equation in point-slope form contains the point (–3, 5) and has slope –1? y + 3 = –1(x – 5) y – 5 = –1(x + 3) y – 3 = –1(x
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

y - 5 = -1(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form

y - y1 = m(x - x1) where m = slope and passing through point (x1 , y1)

In this case if the equation in point-slope form contains the point (–3, 5) and has slope –1 then the equation should be:

y - 5 = -1(x - (-3))

y - 5 = -1(x + 3)

Write an equation for the line parallel to the given line that contains C.<br> C(1,4)​; y=−3x+1
Elis [28]

Answer:The equation of a line is y = mx + b where y = y-coordinate, m = slope, x = x-coordinate, and b = y-intercept. (Remember that the slope is the steepness  of a line and the y-intercept is the point where the line intersects  the y-axis. The x- and y-coordinates are values of the points on the line of y = 3x - 1.)
