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! :)

Use the graph to answer the questions in part 1-3.
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Part 1: m = -7

Part 2: y = -7x -11

Part 3: 7x + y = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1

Select 2 points, in this case (-2, 3) and (-1, -4) and then use the slope formula

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

m = (-4 -3) / (-1 - -2) =

m = -7/1

m = -7

Part 2

Use the point-slope form equation to find the slope-intercept form

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 3 = -7(x - -2)

y = -7(x +2) +3

y = -7x -14 +3

y = -7x -11

Part 3

Move the x and y to the same side of the equation

y = -7x -11

7x + y = -11

Can you show graph the sysrem of inequalities y > -3x -3 y > 4x + 4
Gnoma [55]
Plot y = -3x-3 (x = 0, y - -3, and x =1, y = - 6 ), as a *dashed* line (> means greater, not greater or equal than), then shade everything on top of that line.

Plot y = 4x+4 (x=0, y = 4, x = 1, y = 8) again as a dashed line, and shade everything above it.

Where both shades are on op of each other, both inequalities hold. This is the answer. Good luck plotting!
