"the difference of a number x and 4": x - 4
"is": =
"3": 3
Combine the terms so that it looks like the sentence numerically:
"the difference of a number x and 4 is 3": x - 3 = 4
x - 3 = 4 is your answer.
To solve for x:
Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the variable, x. Add 3 to both sides.
x - 3 = 4
x -3 (-3) = 4 (-3)
x = 4 - 3
x = 1
1 is your answer for x.

A graphing calculator or spreadsheet program can do this for you. Below is a plot from the Desmos on-line graphing calculator.
Hello there! The axis of symmetry is the vertical line where the parabola can be divided and there are two equal halves. The vertex is on that line. The point where this occurs is all in the positive range, so that eliminates B, C, and D. (0.5, 4.25) is the vertex and 0.5 is the axis of symmetry. The answer is A. Your answer is correct.
5 red, 3 blue, 7 white.....total of 15
probability of 1st drawn being red : 5/15 reduces to 1/3
without replacement
probability of 2nd being red : 4/14 reduces to 2/7
probability of both : 1/3 * 2/7 = 2/21 <==
