The sum of two numbers is 46. The larger number is two less than three times the smaller number. Find the numbers.‍♀️

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Smaller number: 12

Larger number: 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smaller number.

Let 3x - 2 represent the larger number (The larger number is two less than three times the smaller number, or x)

x + 3x -2 = 46

   Add 3x + x:

4x - 2 = 46

   Add 2 to both sides:

4x = 46 + 2

   Add 46 + 2:

4x = 48

    Divide both sides by 4:

4x/4 = 48/4

x = 12 is the smaller number

Since 12 is the smaller number, and the sum of the two numbers is 46, than the larger number must be 34.

y - 3 = -2 ( x + 5 ) in standard form

Answers

Answer:

2x + y = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is Ax + By = C

A represents the coefficient with x

B represents the coefficient with y

C represents the constants

1 - Rewrite to make it easier to work it out

y - 3 = -2 ( x + 5 )

2 - Distribute

y - 3 = -2x - 10

3 - Get the variables on one side and the constants on the other

y - 3 = -2x - 10

+ 2x  + 2x

2x + y - 3 = -10

         + 3   + 3

2x + y = -7

Simplified or expanded version of 8(4x-12)

Answers

Answer: 32x - 96

Step-by-step explanation: If I’m not wrong, that’s the answer. You distribute the 8 to each of the numbers, so you multiply. 8 multiplied by 4x would be 32x. 8 multiplied by 12 is 96. You then put the subtraction sign in. You could also think of it as 8 times -12. That’ll still get you -96. It would be 32 and the negative 96, so it seems like the negative is the subtraction sign.

Find the slope of the line perpendicular to 2x+3y=8

Answers

Answer:

Marissa.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find perpendicular slope you basically take the slope of the given line and reverse whatever sign it had previously. (If it was negative, it would become positive. If it was positive it would become negative.)

By doing -A/B it make the previous slope negative.

Brandon only flipped the fraction which would just result in the slope being slightly steeper, or in this case, less steep than the previous line, rather than making it perpendicular.

Answers

Answer:

The temperature, in December is 47 °F

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data for the temperature are;

Month             [tex]{}[/tex]         Temp (°F)

April                   [tex]{}[/tex]          59

May               [tex]{}[/tex]               68

June             [tex]{}[/tex]                71

July                  [tex]{}[/tex]             78

August              [tex]{}[/tex]            74

Let x represent the month, and f(x) = y represent the temperature, we have;

y = a·x² + b·x + c

When x = 1, we have, f(1) = a·1² + b·1 + c = 59

f(1) = a + b + c = 59...(1)

When x = 2, we have, f(2) = a·2² + b·2 + c = 68

f(2) = 4·a + 2·b + c = 68...(2)

When x = 3, we have, f(3) = a·3² + b·3 + c = 71

f(3) = 9·a + 3·b + c = 71...(3)

When x = 4, we have, f(4) = a·4² + b·4 + c = 78

f(3) = 16·a + 4·b + c = 78...(4)

When x = 5, we have, f(5) = a·5² + b·5 + c = 74

f(3) = 25·a + 5·b + c = 74...(5)

Subtracting equation (3) from equation (5), we get;

25·a + 5·b + c - (9·a + 3·b + c) = 74 - 71

16·a + 2·b = 3...(6)

Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2), we get;

4·a + 2·b + c - (a + b + c) = 68 - 59

3·a + b = 9...(7)

Multiply equation (7) by 2 and substract from equation (6) gives;

16·a + 2·b - 2 × (3·a + b) = 3 - 2 × 9

16·a + 2·b - 6·a - 2·b = 3 - 2 × 9

16·a - 6·a + 2·b  - 2·b = 3 - 2 × 9 = -15

10·a = -15

a = -15/10 = -1.5

a = -1.5

From, 3·a + b = 9, we have;

3 × (-1.5) + b = 9

b = 9 + 4.5 =13.5

b = 13.5

From, a + b + c = 59, we have;

-1.5 + 13.5 + c = 59

c = 59 - (-1.5 + 13.5) = 47

c = 47

The quadratic equation becomes, y = a·x² + b·x + c = -1.5·x² + 13.5·x + 47

f(x) = y = -1.5·x² + 13.5·x + 47

For December, we have, x = 9, and f(x) = -1.5×9² + 13.5×9 + 47 = 47

The temperature, in December = 47 °F

a 10 miles per hour
b 15 miles per hour
c 30 miles per hour
d 65 miles per hour

Answers

Answer: B) 15 mph

====================================================

Explanation:

The equation d = 65t means that the rate is r = 65. So Malcolm's family travels at an average rate of 65 mph. Note this is the slope of the line.

The graph has a slope of 50 because each time we go up 50, we move to the right 1. Ie, slope = rise/run = 50/1 = 50. You could use the slope formula to get the same result.

Since the graph has a slope of 50, this means Theo's family is going at an average speed of 50 mph.

Subtract the two speeds to get 65-50 = 15 mph

Answers

Answer:

The answer is c definitely

Answer:

C. x + 8 = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 8 = 3

x + 8 - 8 = 3 - 8 ( so do the same thing you do on both the left and right side )

x = -5

So C is correct but you can always say 3 - 8 to figure out that the answer in c is the right one.
