Hi there,
Your question is "twice a number (x) is fifty"
Recall how a number is represented by x.
Twice a number would be represented as 2x.
Therefore, to represent that twice a number is equal to 50, that would result in the expression: 
If you're looking to solve this equation, it's often best to think about the "reverse" of the current equation.
Notice how 2 is multiplying the x.
To isolate x, divide that side by 2.
However, recall that whatever is done to one side of an equation must also be done to the other side of the equation. Therefore, you will need to divide both sides by 2.
Equation:
Solving for x: 25
Hope that helps!
Answer:
<h2>
y + 2 = 3(x + 1)</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The Point-Slope form of equation of a line with slope of "m" and passing through point (x₁, y₁) is: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
m = 3
x₁ = -1
y₁ = -2
Therefore the equation:
y - (-2) = 3(x - (-1))
<h3>
y + 2 = 3(x + 1)</h3>
Answer:
Overall vertical is visually better, if done correctly
it forces you to "line up" all the common exponents.
The disadvantage is that it usually requires re-writing the problem, and it takes up space.
most problems are presented horizontally, that becomes the issue to locate the common exponents.
in both cases the biggest issue is people forget
that when subtracting "subtracting a negative is like adding a positive"
-5x - (-8x) = 3x [that is a positive 3x]
or:
-7x
- - 10x
-------------
3x
everyone misses those eventually so you have to watch out for that in both methods
