answer :

<em>x  = - 23</em>

explanation :

<em>19 - 3x  = 88</em>

<em></em>

<em>Break it down :</em>

<em></em>

<em>"19 less than": Means we are going to subtract 19 from a number.</em>

<em>"3 times a number":  Pick a variable to represent the number and multiply </em>

<em>                                     that by 3. ex:   3x</em>

<em></em>

<em>Solve : 19 - 3x  = 88 </em>

<em>           - 19           - 19         ( subtract - 19 from both sides,              </em>

<em>                                                     to get " -3x = 69 " ) </em>

<em>                     -3x = 69                     </em>

<em>                    / -3    / -3               ( divide both sides by -3, </em>

<em>                                                  to get your answer, x = -23 ) </em>

<em>                   x =  - 23 </em>

Find the equation of the line with slope m=1 that contains the point (1,2)
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

y = x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the point-slope formula to write an equation for this problem. The point-slope formula states: <em>(y - y1) = m (x - x1) </em>

Where m is the slope and (x1 y1) is a point the line passes through.

Substituting the slope and the values from the point in the problem gives:

( y - 2 ) = 1 ( x - 1 )

We can also solve for y to put the equation in slope-intercept form. The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: <em>y = mx + b</em>

y - 2 = 1x - 1

y = 1x - 1 + 2

<em>y = 1x + 1 or y = x + 1 </em> * are just the same.

use each of the digits 5 4 3 2 1 exactly once to create two different five digit numbers. Write each number on the line and comp
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

12345 < 54321

21435 > 12534

:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the digits:

1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

We have to use every digit only once and have to make two different five digit numbers.

Using these 5 numbers only once without repetition, we have many numbers possible.

Let us have a look at a few sets and let us compare them.

<u>Set 1:</u> 12345 and 54321

We can see that 12345 is lesser than 54321.

Therefore, we can write (using lesser than sign):

12345 < 54321

<u>Set 2:</u> 21435 and 12534

We can see that 21435 is greater than  12534.

Therefore, we can write (using greater than sign):

21435 > 12534
