Answer:  The number is:  "2 " .

__________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

__________________________________________

Write the expression; which is an equation, as follows:

__________________________________________

    " 4x − 12 = 2(-x) " ;  in which "x" represents "the number for which we shall                                       solve" .

___________________________________________

Note:  

If the "number" = "x" ;  the "opposite of the number"  =  " -x " ;

___________________________________________

Rewrite as:  " 4x − 12 = -2x " ;

_____________________________________________

    →  Add "12" ; & add "2x" ; to EACH SIDE of the equation:

                     4x − 12 + 12 + 2x = -2x + 12 + 2x ;

          to get:    6x  = 12  ;

____________________________________________________

Now, divide each side of the equation by "6" ;

    to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;

____________________________________________________

                        6x / 6  =  12 / 6 ;

                   to get:    x = 2 .

____________________________________________________

Answer:  The number is:  "2 " .

____________________________________________________

Let us check our answer, by plugging in "2" for "x" in our original equation:

_____________________________________________________

       →   " 4x − 12 = 2(-x) " ;

 Let us plug in "2" for "x" ; to see if the equation holds true; that is; if both side of the equation are equal; when "x = 2" ;

       →   " 4(2) − 12 = ?  2(-2) ??

       →    8 − 12 = ?  -4 ? ;

       →    -4 = ? -4 ??  Yes!

Find the equation of the line with slope 3/7 and that passes through the point (14, 0). Write your answer in the form y = mx + b
Allushta [10]

Answer:

y = 3/7x - 6

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

<u>Algebra I</u>

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

  • m - slope
  • b - y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

Slope <em>m</em> = 3/7

Point (14, 0)

<u>Step 2: Find y-intercept </u><em><u>b</u></em>

  1. Substitute:                    0 = 3/7(14) + b
  2. Multiply:                        0 = 6 + b
  3. Isolate <em>b</em>:                       -6 = b
  4. Rewrite:                         b = -6

<u>Step 3: Write linear equation</u>

y = 3/7x - 6
