2 is the answer to this equation
Here, I'll do the first one for you.
When they are talking about a number, use "x".
Since it says twice a number, you say 2x. Or 3x for three times the number
2x+12=3x-31
Then use algebra to find x. Get the numbers on one side and all the x's on the other.
2x+12+31=3x-31+31
2x+43-2x=3x-2x
x=43
Now do the rest on your own!

Answer:
D. 2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is the x-coefficient when the equation is solved for y.
2x -5y = 9 . . . . . . . given
-5y = -2x +9 . . . . . .subtract 2x
y = (-2/-5)x +9/(-5) . . . . divide by -5
y = 2/5x -9/5
The coefficient of x is 2/5. That is the slope of the line.
The slope is 2/5.
