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

Identify the terms and like terms in the expression. x² - 3x + 4 + 2x² - x - 12. Thank you to anyone who helps, I appreciate it

marta [7]

Given:

The expression is:

$x^2-3x+4+2x^2-x-12$

To find:

The terms and like terms in the expression.

Solution:

Terms: Variables, constants and product of variable and constants are known as terms which are separated by addition sign "+".

Like terms: The terms which contain same variables with same power are known as like terms.

The given expression is:

$x^2-3x+4+2x^2-x-12$

It can be rewritten as:

$x^2+(-3x)+4+2x^2+(-x)+(-12)$

Terms are $x^2,-3x,4,2x^2,-x,-12$ .

Like terms are $x^2,2x^2$ and $-3x,-x$ and $4,-12$ .

What is the rate of change of the linear relationship modeled in the table? (4 points) x y −2 5 −1 4 0 3 1 2 a −2 b −1 c negativ

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

rate of change=slope= y2-y1/x2-x1

Step-by-step explanation:

x: -2|-1|0|1

y : 5|4|3|2

so choose 2 ordered pairs. in this case, we will choose (-2,5) and (-1,4)

now we plug them in: $\frac{4-5}{-1-(-2)}$

4-5=-1

-1-(-2)=1

so -1/1 is equal to -1, meaning it's answer option b.
