Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x.

4 times the number = 4x
10 added to 4 times the number = 4x + 10

now,

5 times the number = 5x
4 less than 5 times the number = 5x - 4

Given that,

4x + 10 = 5x - 4

moving all x terms to the LHS and the constants to the RHS

4x - 5x = -4 - 10

-x = -14

dividing both sides by -1

x = 14

Complete the equation of the line through 2,1 and 5,-8

Neko [114]

Answer:

y - 1 = -3(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move from the point (2, 1) to the point (5, -8), x (the run) increases by 3 and y (the rise) decreases by 9. Thus, the slope of this line is

m = rise / run = -9/3, or m = -3.

Then the equation of the line (in point-slope form) is

y - 1 = -3(x - 2)
