Try breaking these into sections.
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"
Answer:
-14c
Step-by-step explanation:
I’m using the actual values 1F = -17C so just times that by 5.4
<h3>Answer: Choice D</h3>
4x - 3y = 15
====================================================
Explanation:
The two points (-1,-1) and (2,3) are marked on the line
Let's find the slope of the line through those two points.

The slope is 4/3 meaning we go up 4 and to the right 3.
-------------
Parallel lines have equal slopes, but different y intercepts. We'll need to see which of the four answer choices have a slope of 4/3.
Solve the equation in choice A for y. The goal is to get it into y = mx+b form so we can determine the slope m.

Equation A has a slope of -3/4 and not 4/3 like we want.
Therefore, this answer choice is crossed off the list.
Follow similar steps for choices B through D. I'll show the slopes of each so you can check your work.
- slope of equation B is 3/4
- slope of equation C is -4/3
- slope of equation D is 4/3
We have a match with equation D. Therefore, the equation 4x-3y = 15 is parallel to the given line shown in the graph.
You can use graphing tools like Desmos or GeoGebra to confirm the answer.

Answer:
1. Option A
2. Option B
Step-by-step explanation:
I would like to elaborate on the answer to the second question, since the first answer is actually option a. Why? The question asks for a parametric equation, not set, so it would be choice a.
2. x=3t + 5 - isolate t
t=(x-5)/3 - substitute into the second equation
y = [(x-5)/3]^2 - 1
your solution is option b
