Twice: 2 times
The sum of: add
A number: choose a variable, like x
---Thus "the sum of a number and 4" becomes "add x and 4" which, mathematically, is "x+4"
-----Continuing to put it all together, "Twice the sum of a number and four" becomes "2 times (x+4)" which, mathematically, is "2(x+4)"
Is: equals
-------"Twice the sum of a number and four is" becomes "2(x+4)="
23 less than: subtract 23. This one tends to trick people; "23 less than" will become "__ - 23", NOT "23 - __"
three times the number: 3 times x
---"23 less than three times the number" becomes "subtract 23 from 3 times x" which, mathematically, is "3x-23"
-------So the final phrase: 2(x+4)=3x-23"
20x+ 5y = 15
Move 20x to the other side. Sign changes from +20x to -20x
20x-20x+5y=-20x+15
5y=-20x+15
Divide both sides by 5
5y/5=y ( Cross out 5 and 5, divide by 5, 1*1*y=y)
-20/5=-4x
15/5=3
y=-4x+3 or y=3-4x
Answer: y=-4x+3 or y=3-4x
If a set of exam scores forms a symmetrical distribution, then the student mean scores is the median and the mode too.
<h3>What is a Symmetrical distribution?</h3>
A symmetrical distribution by definition is the situation which occurs when the values of variables appear at regular frequencies and is characterized by the mean, median, and mode all occuring at the same point in most cases.
Graphically, symmetrical distributions may appear as a normal distribution (i.e., bell curve).

Answer:
5:00 pm
Step-by-step explanation:
11:00 + 5 is 4.00 so you'd be a 4:40 + 20 minutes, that ranks up another hour so its at 5:00 pm
Answer:
(8, -22)
Step-by-step explanation:
The tables each contain four (x,y) points of a straight line. You can see that for every increase of x by 2, y decreases by 8 in the first one (observe 26, 18, 10 2), and decreases by 6 in the second.
If you continue the table with x=4, 6 and 8, you get y=-22 in both cases for x=8. That is the intersection, so the solution is (8,-22).
Added a graph. The equations are y=10-4x and y=2-3x respectively. Hope you understand a bit of this (brief) explanation.
