The sum of a number and 2 is 6 less than twice that number

IgorC [24]3 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we have to do before we can actually do the problem is turn the words into a math equation.

If we use <em>x </em>as our "number," we see that "The sum of a number and 2" can also be written as <em>x</em>+2. The word "Is" almost always means (=), so now we have (<em>x</em>+2) = . The very last part, "6 less than twice that number," means 2<em>x - </em>6.

So, our whole equation is, (<em>x </em>+ 2) = (2<em>x </em>- 6), which simplifies to -<em>x </em>= -8, or

<em>x</em> = 8

Answer:

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

number = y

y + 2 = 2y - 6

y + 2 - 2 = 2y - 6 - 2

y = 2y - 8

y - 2y = 2y - 2y - 8

- y = - 8

- y × - 1 = - 8 × - 1

y = 8

Which equation represents the data in
klasskru [66]

Answer:

y = 2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations are put in slope intercept form

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

Where m = slope and b = y intersect

So in order to find the equation of the data represented by the table we will have to find the slope and y intercept

Let's begin!

First let's find the slope

We can find the slope by using the slope formula

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) where the x and y values are derived from coordinates from the table

The points chosen may vary but I have chosen the points (0,-4) and (1,-2)

Now that we have chosen the points we will use to find the slope let's define the variables

remember coordinates are written like this: (x,y)

The x value of the second coordinate is 1 so x2 = 1

The x value of the first coordinate is 0

So x1 = 0

The y value of the second coordinate is -2 so y2 = -2

The y value of the first coordinate is -4

So y1 = -4

Now that we have defined each variable let's plug in the values into the formula

Formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Variables: x2 = 1, x1 = 0, y2 = -2, y1 = -4

Substitute values

m = (-2 - (-4) / ( 1 - 0 )

Evaluate

The negative signs cancel out on top and it changes to +4

m = (-2 + 4)/(1-0)

Add top values

m = 2/(1-0)

Subtract bottom numbers

m = 2/1

Simplify fraction

m = 2

So we can conclude that the slope (m) = 2

Now let's find the y intercept or "b"

The y intercept is the value of y when x = 0

If you look at the table when x = 0 y = -4 meaning that the y intercept or "b" is -4

Now that we have found everything let's find the equation of the data represented by the table

The equation is in slope intercept form

y = mx + b

Define variables

m = 2 and b = -4

Substitute values

y = 2x - 4

The equation is y = 2x - 4

if a number is increased by 5 and the result is then divided by three,the result is seven. write an equation that models this ve
gregori [183]
A number (we don’t know the number so I’ll use X) plus five. So we can start the equation of with X+5 then divided by 3=7 so X+5➗3=7 so to solve what X is we can just go in reverse. 7 TIMES 3= 21-5=16 so X=16
