Let the first number be "x", and the 2nd number (which is twice as large as the other), be 2x.

Set the equation

2x + x = 36

Simplify. Combine like terms

(2x + x) = 36

3x = 36

Isolate the x. Divide 3 from both sides

(3x)/3 = (36)/3

x = 36/3

x = 12

The first number is 12

The second number is 2x. Replace x with 12. Multiply.

2x = 2(12) = 24

The second number is 24

Check: 12 + 24 = 36 (True)

Answer: 12 & 24

URGENT!! GEOMETRY TRANSLATIONS. INCLUDE EXPLANATION IF POSSIBLE
STatiana [176]

First find the new coordinates for P and Q after the translations:

P'(2 + 3, 4 - 4) = P'(5, 0)

Q'(-3 + 3, 2 - 4) = Q'(0, -2)

Now, find the slope from this:

(0 - (-2))/(5 - 0) = 2/5

The slope has remained the same. It is important to note that after any translation, the slope will always remain the same. However, this is not always so for rotations and reflections.

Solve the equation 58 - 10x ≤ 20 + 9x
drek231 [11]

Answer:

x≥2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write out the equation as you have it:

58-10x\leq20+9x

Then, add 10x to both sides:

58-10x+10x\leq20+9x+10x\\58\leq20+19x

Next, subtract 20 from both sides:

58-20\leq20-20+19x\\38\leq19x

Finally, divide both sides by 19:

\frac{38}{19}\leq\frac{19x}{19}\\2\leq x

or

x\geq 2

Therefore: the answer to this inequality/equation is: x≥2

Answer:

money owed (in order): $850, $870.40, $891.29, $912.68

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is

money owed = amount owed the previous week + amount owed previous week × interest rate (in decimal form)

so thats:

money owed = amount owed the previous week + amount owed previous week × 0.024

we can simplify that to:

money owed = amount owed the previous week x (1.024)

after 0 weeks:

$850 (just started, no interest added)

after 1 week:

$870.40

after 2 weeks:

$891.29

after 3 weeks:

$912.68
