Let's say the number is x.

The equation will be:
1/3x + 12 = x
(one third of a number + 12 equals to the number)
Solving the equation:
subtract 1/3x from both sides:
12 = 2/3x
divide by 2
6 = 1/3x
multiply with 3
18 = x

Your number is 18, its one-third is 6, which is 12 less than the number itself.

which equation below represents the data in the table and PLEEEEASE show each and every step of how to solve I will make you the
kari74 [83]

The equation which represents the data in the table as in the task content is; Choice C; y = 2x +3.

<h3>What is the equation which represents the data in the table as attached?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the slope of the relation can be determined by means of the slope formula for a linear equation as follows;

Slope = (1-(-1))/(-1 -(-2))

Slope = 2.

Hence, the equation which represents the function is;

2 = (y-(-1))/(x -(-2))

2x + 4 = y +1

y = 2x + 3.

Therefore, the equation which represents the data in the table as in the task content is; Choice C; y = 2x +3.

Alja [10]

It is given in the question that

BD is the median. So it divides the opposite sides in two equal parts .

Therefore in triangles BAD and BCD,

AB and AC are congruent because of isosceles triangle.

AD and CD are congruent because of the median BD.

And BD and BD are congruent .

So the two triangles are congruent by SSS and the correct option is the first option .
