Answer:

5x - 4 = 11

1/2x + 15 = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

I dont exactly know how u would show work.

If it says something is less than a number, then it will be at the back of the equation. So skip that part and u will see it says five times a number. The number is unknown therefore it will a variable (i chose x to be the variable). 5 times x is 5x. Minus the 4 would be 5x - 4. Then it says the equation equals 11. So 5x - 4 = 11.

If it says something is more than a number, it can be on either side of the equation using the commutative property of addition. But if we want to consider it being like subtraction, then it also will be in the back of the equation. A half is one over two (1/2). A half of x is 1/2x. Plus the 15 would be 1/2x + 15. It then states that the equation equals 9. So 1/2x + 15 = 9.

If you drew a horizontal line on the coordinate plane, what could you say about the y-coordinate for every point on the line?

It's the y intercept.
If y = a then every point on the line would be (x,a)
The lines slope is 0. I know that has nothing to do with the question, but it is true and it gives me 3 things to tell you.

X − 3 − 2(6 − 2x) = 2(2x − 5)

Multiply the first bracket by -2

Multiply the second bracket by 2

x-3-12+4x= 4x-10

- negative number times + positive number= - negative number

- negative number times -negative number = + positive number

x+ 4x-3-12= 4x-10

5x-15= 4x-10

Move 4x to the other side
