Write this sentence as an equation?

Six less than 4 times a number gives 18

4x - 6 =15

Step-by-step explanation:

I will use "x" as our variable to represent the number we are trying to find.  

Let's take the problem piece by piece.

Six less than four times a number.

If we are using x to represent our number, we know that when we do four times that number we are multiplying x times 4, which is the same as writing "4x."

Next we know that we are taking six less than 4x. Six less than means we will be subtracting 6 from our 4x, which is the same as writing 4x - 6.

Finally, we know that six less than 4x (4x - 6) equals 15. Now we have a full equation:

4x - 6 =15

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form

y=-2x0 is most likey your asnwer
