The answer to this would be x-(x+14)
Here's an explanation:
Let x represent the unknown number. The problem says that x has been decreased by the sum of x and 14. So, to put this in a form of an equation, it would be x-(x+14), since you have to do the addition first before you can subtract the two number since you don't know what x is. This equation is equal to -14 no matter what x is.
Answer:
63cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the shaded region = Area of the rectangle - Area of the two triangles
Area of the rectangle = 6(3+14)
Area of the rectangle = 6 * 17
Area of the rectangle = 102cm²
Area of the smaller triangle = 1/2 * 3 * 6
Area of the smaller triangle = 18/2 = 9cm²
Area of the larger triangle = 1/2 * 6 * (17-7)
Area of the larger triangle = 1/2 * 6 * 10
Area of the larger triangle = 60/2 = 30cm²
Area of the shaded part = 102 - (9+30)
Area of the shaded part = 102 - 39
Area of the shaded part = 63cm²
First write the equation in slope-intercept form which is more commonly known as <em>y = mx + b</em> form where the <em>m </em>or the coefficient of the x term represents the slope of the <em>b</em> or the constant term represents the y-intercept.
Subtract 2x from both sides to get <em>y = -2x - 4</em>.
I put the x term first because that's how it is in y = mx + b form.
Now we can see that the <em>b</em> or the constant term is -4.
We can write this as the ordered pair (0, -4).
Keep in mind when writing a y-intercept as an ordered pair, your x-coordinate will always be 0 in the ordered pair.
