The answers you could use are both the second and the forth. But mostly the fourth.
Given:
The location of point S on a coordinate plane.
To find:
The ordered pair for the point S.
Solution:
A point is defined as (x,y), where, |x| is the distance between the point and y-axis, and |y| be the distance between the point and x-axis. Signs of coordinates depend on the quadrant.
From the given graph it is clear that,
Distance between S and y-axis = 3.5
Distance between S and x-axis = 5.5
Point S lies in 3rd quadrant, it means x- and y-coordinates are negative.
Therefore, the ordered pair of point S is (-3.5,-5.5).
Answer:
Smaller number: 12
Greater number: 31
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
Let x equal to the smaller number.
Let y be equal to the greater number.
<u>1) Translate the information into equations</u>
"One is 7 more than twice the other"
⇒ 
"The sum of the numbers is 43"
⇒ 
<u>2) Use substitution to solve for the smaller number</u>

Plug the equation
into the above equation

Subtract both sides by 7

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

Therefore, the smaller number equates to 12.
<u>3) Use substitution to solve for the greater number</u>

Plug in x as 12

Subtract both sides by 12 to isolate y

Therefore, the greater number equates to 31.
I hope this helps!
You have to add 3 to both sides to get 2x= 9. Then divide 2 by both sides and x would equal 9/2. U can put tht into a decimal if u want though
