If you put it into a calculator, you get 35/8 as a fraction and you can change it to a decimal and get 4.375.
Answer:
A.
Step-by-step explanation:
m = y2-y1/x2-x1
m = 12-4/15-5
m = 8/10
m = 4/5
Try breaking these into sections.
Twice: 2 times
The sum of: add
A number: choose a variable, like x
---Thus "the sum of a number and 4" becomes "add x and 4" which, mathematically, is "x+4"
-----Continuing to put it all together, "Twice the sum of a number and four" becomes "2 times (x+4)" which, mathematically, is "2(x+4)"
Is: equals
-------"Twice the sum of a number and four is" becomes "2(x+4)="
23 less than: subtract 23. This one tends to trick people; "23 less than" will become "__ - 23", NOT "23 - __"
three times the number: 3 times x
---"23 less than three times the number" becomes "subtract 23 from 3 times x" which, mathematically, is "3x-23"
-------So the final phrase: 2(x+4)=3x-23"
