A number increased by four is the same as 19 minus 2 times the number

1 answer:

5 0

From the information given, 4 added to the unknown number is equal to 2 times the unknown number when it is subtracted from 19.

Let the number be x

x + 4 = 19 - 2 (x)

We now expand and simplify the equation by placing unknown on one side and the known on the other side

x + 4 = 19 - 2x

x + 2x = 19 - 4

3x = 15

x = 15 /3

x = 5

Determine the equation of the graph with the coordinates of (4, -1)

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The required equation of the graph with the coordinates of (4, -1) will be:

$y=\left(x-4\right)^2-1$

The graph is also attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinates (4, -1)

If we put the coordinate values (4, -1) in the given equations, we determine that only $y=\left(x-4\right)^2-1$ is the valid equation as it satisfies the given coordinate value.

For example, putting (4, -1) in the equation

$y=\left(x-4\right)^2-1$

$\left(-1\right)=\left(4-4\right)^2-1$

$-1=\left(0\right)^2-1$

$-1=0-1$

$-1=-1$

So, the equation $y=\left(x-4\right)^2-1$ is true for the coordinate values (4, -1).

Therefore, the required equation of the graph with the coordinates of (4, -1) will be:

$y=\left(x-4\right)^2-1$

Please check, the graph is also attached.
