Mathematics
1 answer:

Let the number be x. "Three times a number increased by 10" is mathematically translated as

3x + 10

"is equal" is mathematically translated as twenty less than six times the number" is mathematically translated as

6x - 20

The whole sentence "Three times a number increased by ten is equal to twenty less than six times the number" is translated as

3x + 10 = 6x - 20

We now solve the above linear equation to find the number x

3x - 6x = - 20 - 10

- 3x = - 30

x = 10

Check answer

Three times a number increased by ten : 3 × 10 + 10 = 40

Twenty less than six times the number : 6 × 10 - 20 = 40

Which equation represents a line that has a slope of 3/4 and passes through the point (2,1)?
ValentinkaMS [17]
The general equation of a line is:
\frac{y- y_{1}}{x- x_{1}} =m
When m is the gradient and x1 and y1 are the coordinates of the points on the line
Therefore:
\frac{y-1}{x-2}=3/4
4y-4=3x-6
4y=3x-2
