Which can be represented by the expression 17 – 2x? A. 17 less than twice a number B. the difference between 17 and twice a number C. a number x squared, subtracted from 17 D. 17 less than a number x squared

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is a number, then twice a number is 2x. The difference between 17 and 2x is 17-2x.

Common Error:

A. says 17 less than twice a number. Since it is 17 less, it is 2x-17 not 17-2x.

Hope this answer helped! :)

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)
