Three added to eight times a number is the same as three times the value of two times the number -1

The number x is -3

Therefore x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given problem is "Three added to eight times a number is the same as three times the value of two times the number -1"

Let x be the number

It can be written as

 ( applying the distributive property )

subtracting (6x-3) on both sides we get

( ading the like terms )

Therefore x=-3

The number x is -3

answer: median

step-by-step explanation:

the median is the middle value when a data set is ordered from least to greatest

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
