Me, i really would appreciate it. i am struggling with this.

2)

let's say the number is "a".

"two more than the number"  ----> a + 2

"five times more than that"  -----> 5 * (a + 2) ---> 5(a + 2)

"the sum of that number and 5 times the number more than 2"

a + 5(a + 2)

"is 26 more than four times the number" ----> = 4*a + 26 ---> = 4a + 26

a + 5(a + 2) = 4a + 26



3)

"eight times the number" ---> 8 * a, or 8a

"3 less than that" ----> 8a - 3

"the number increased by 1" ---> a + 1

"16 times that"  ---> 16(a + 1)

"half that" ----> [ 16(a + 1) ] / 2

notice each equation, they're both in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b.

now, notice their slope, is the same for both, notice their y-intercept, it varies.

same slope, different y-intercept simply means, the lines are parallel.

All points to the left of zero on a horizontal number line are negative. a number line is a picture of a graduated straight line that serves as abstraction for real numbers. this number line can be extended to the left to represent numbers which are smaller than 0. such numbers are called negative numbersmark me brainliest
