Answer:

\large\boxed{23}

Step-by-step explanation:

Six times a number is decreased by fourteen, the result is 124.

Write an equation that represents this

(6 * x) - 14 = 124

Multiply 6 by x to remove the parenthesis

6x - 14 = 124

Add 14 to both sides of the equation

6x = 138

Divide both sides of the equation by 6

x = 23

The unknown number is \large\boxed{23}

Hope this helps :)

Write an equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

y = 2/7x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

We start off by putting the original equation into slope-intercept form. Subtract 7x from both sides, then divide both sides by -2. Your new equation should be y = -7/2x - 8. It's important to know that when two lines are perpendicular, their slopes (m) are opposite reciprocals of each other.  So -7/2 becomes 2/7. The first part of your final equation is y = 2/7x + b.

Next, we need to find the y intercept (b). You need to plug the x and y values from the given coordinate point (-7,5) into your final equation. You should end up with: 5 = 2/7(-7) + b. Then, solve for b.

5 = -14/7 + b

5 = -2 + b

7 = b

Finally, plug the b value into your final equation and you will have your answer.
