Answer:

5x - 9 = 2x + 23

x = 10 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets convert the phrases to mathematical equations.

" five times a number" = 5 multiplied by x = 5x

"decresed by 9 " = -9

" is equal to" = "="

"twice the number" = 2 multiplied by x = 2x

"increased by 23" = +23

The final equation is 5x, -9, =, 2x, +23 or 5x - 9 = 2x + 23

We can continue to solve this problem:

5x - 9 = 2x + 23

Add 9 to both sides

5x = 2x + 32

Subtract 2x from both sides

3x = 32

Divide both sides by 3

x = 32/3 or 10 2/3

3x-6y=9<br> x=2y+3<br><br> SOMEONE HELP ME SOLVE THIS STEP BY STEP TY
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

0=0

infinitely many solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

plug x=2y+3 as x into 3x-6y=9...so

3(2y+3)-6y=9, which has our x=2y+3 plugged in because that is what x equals

if you solve its

6y+9-6y=9

0y=0

y=0

making it 0=0

you can't go further from this

Write a linear equation in standard form that crosses (4,-3) and (-2,9)
Goryan [66]
Y = -2x + 5 
That's the answer and you find it by finding the slope by using (4,-3) and (-2,9). You subtract -3 from 9 over 4 from -2. After you find the slope which would be -2 you use the equation y-y1 = slope(x - x1). You plug in any coordinates and find the answer.
