Write an algebraic equation for the following. Do NOT solve:

7 less than p is 42

p - 7 = 42

Step-by-step explanation:

"Less than" might make you think of the  <  sign, but that's a mistake.  The expression  7 < p = 42  makes no sense!  In fact, that would say, "7 is less than p and p = 42."

To find 7 less than a number, you subtract 7 from the number.  You start with the number, then subtract 7.

p - 7 = 42

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
