Answer:
2(4+x)
Step-by-step explanation:
"Twice the sum of" tells us it will be the equation times two
"the sum of four and a number" is easy, thats 4 + x
The second number is x because the number is not specified so we need a place holder, x in this case, to tell us that the number is not given.
All this put together = twice the sum of four and a number, or <u>2(4+x)</u>
When you represent intervals on the number line, you're including full dots, excluding empty dots, and you're considering numbers highlighted by the line.
In the first case, you've highlighted everything before -2 (full dot, thus included), and everything after 1 (empty dot, excluded). So, the set would be

or, in interval notation,
![(-\infty,-2]\cup (1,\infty)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28-%5Cinfty%2C-2%5D%5Ccup%20%281%2C%5Cinfty%29)
In the second case, you are looking for all numbers between -3 and 5. This interval is symmetric with respect to 1: you're considering all numbers that are at most 4 units away from 1, both to the left and to the right.
This means that the difference between your numbers at 1 must be at most 4, which is modelled by

where the absolute values guarantees that you'll pick numbers to the left and to the right of 1.
Hello :
<span>y=-8x-2 and y=-6x+4
-8x-2 = -6x +4
-8x+6x =2+4
-2x =6
x = - 3
y = -6(-3)+4 =22</span>
Independent variable (im pretty sure sorry if im wrong)
