Please turn this word problem into an equation Braden and Michael are running laps. Braden runs 3 less than twice as many as Michael. Together they run 12 laps.

x+ 2x -3 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

x represents Michael's laps. 2x -3 represents Braden's laps. Added together for a total of 12

One step further would be to combine the x terms, so the equation becomes 3x - 3 = 12

(1, –1), (16, –4), (36, –6)

step-by-step explanation:

given that the function is

this can also be written as

we have to graph this function and check which list of points lie on the graph

see attachment for graph:

we find that the points lying are (1,-1) (16,-4) and (36,-6)

since square root is there we find that x can only be posiitve but y can be since square root both positive and negative.
