Answer:
Linear Proportional Relationship
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Algebra I</u>
- Linear - Any degree of 1 in the form of y = mx + b or Ax + By = C
- Nonlinear - Any degree higher than 1
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
y = 2x + 3
<u>Step 2: Identify</u>
We see we have a linear equation in y = mx + b. We can also see that it is a degree of 1. Therefore, it is a Linear proportional relationship.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: One number is four more than the other." is represented as 'x'
"One number is four more than the other." is represented as 'x+4'
"Their sum is fourteen." is represented as 'x+(x+4)=14'
"Find both numbers."
x+(x+4)=14
x+x+4=14 (add like terms)
2x+4=14 (isolate your 'x' variable on one side of the equality by subtracting 4 from both sides)
2x+4-4=14-4
2x=10 (isolate your 'x' variable by dividing by 2 from both sides)
2x/2=10/2
x=5 (this is the answer to one number)
x+4=5+4=9 (plug in 5 for 'x' and this is the answer to four more than another)
Your two numbers are 5 and 9.
