<h2>Answer:    y + 7  =  -3 (x - 1)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line (m) = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)  

                                       

                                          =  (- 7 - 8) ÷ ( 1 - (- 4))

                                         =    - 15  ÷  5

                                         =  - 3

We can now use the point-slope form to write the equation for this line:

        y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) where (x₁ , y₁) = (1, -7)

             y - (-7) =  -3 ( x  -  1)

              y + 7  =  -3 (x - 1)

Twice the sum of a number and 5 is equal to three times the difference of the number and 7. Find the number.
Alexandra [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required number be x.

According to the given information:

2(x + 5) = 3(x - 7) \\  \\  \therefore \: 2x + 10 = 3x - 21 \\  \\   \therefore \: 10 + 21 = 3x -2x \\  \\ \therefore \: 31 = x \\  \\  \huge \red { \boxed{\therefore \: x = 31}}

Hence the required number is 31.
