Hi there!

Let's replace "a number" by "x":

- two times x = 2x

- decreased by 3 = -3

Here's what the equation should look like:

2x - 3 = 11

Now that you have written down your equation, all you have to do now is solve it for "x" by isolating it :

2x - 3 = 11

Add 3 on each side of the equation

2x = 14

Divide each side of the equation by 2

x = 7

Your answer is: The number is 7.

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

2x - 3 = 11

Solve:

2x = 14

x = 7

The answer is 7

What is √-11 in the form a+bi?

Mice21 [21]

Given:

The number is $\sqrt{-11}$ .

To find:

The a+bi form of given number.

Solution:

We have,

$\sqrt{-11}$

It can be written as

$\sqrt{-11}=\sqrt{-1\times 11}$

$\sqrt{-11}=\sqrt{-1}\times \sqrt{11}$ $[\because \sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\sqrt{b}]$

$\sqrt{-11}=i\times \sqrt{11}$ $[\because \sqrt{-1}=i]$

$\sqrt{-11}=\sqrt{11}i$

Here, real part is missing. So, it can be taken as 0.

$\sqrt{-11}=0+\sqrt{11}i$

So, a = 0 and $b=\sqrt{11}$ .

Therefore, the a+bi form of given number is $0+\sqrt{11}i$ .

Which number is both a rational number and an integer? A. B. 13/14 C. 194 D. 13.5

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

C. 194

Step-by-step explanation:

An integer can be a positive or negative whole number, but not a decimal. If this number is an integer, then it is also a rational number. So, 194 fits this description.

Need help with this question

AleksAgata [21]

First, let's find the slope of the line using the slope formula, which is:

$m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

(( $x_1$ , $y_1$ ) and ( $x_2$ , $y_2$ ) are points on the line)

In context of this problem, we can use the formula to find the slope of the line between the two points:

$m = \dfrac{-2 -6}{7 - (-1)} = \dfrac{-8}{8} = -1$

Now, we can use the slope in the point-slope formula, which will help us find the final equation of the line. (For reference, the point-slope formula is $(y - y_1) = m(x - x_1)$ where ( $x_1$ , $y_1$ ) is a point on the line)

In the context of the problem, we could use the formula to find the equation of the line:

$(y - 6) = -1(x + 1)$

$(y - 6) = -x - 1$

$\boxed{y = -x + 5}$

The equation of the line is y = -x + 5.

I belive what you did wrong is that you didint show your work so what you have to do is explain how to do the problem with equations or explain in word form if i were you i would show my work in equations if you need help on how to set it up contact me.
