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

If y2 = x3 + 2, which statement is true? The equation is a function at all values of x. The equation is not a function. The equa
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The equation is not a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

y^2=x^3+2

y=\pm\sqrt{x^3+2}

Function: It is mapping between the values of two sets A and B.

Each element of A has unique value in set B.

By definition of  function

In given function

y has no unique value for each value of x.

Substitute x=0

y=\pm \sqrt{0+2}=\pm \sqrt 2

Hence, it is not a function.

3x+y=4<br> 2x+y=5<br> solve using linear combination
Advocard [28]
Idk what linear combination is but you can solve this way:
3x+y=4
-2x-y=-5
x=-1
3(-1)+y=4
-3+y=4
y=7
So x=-1 and y=7

Segment BD is an altitude of triangle ABC. Find the area of the triangle. Triangle ABC with altitude BD is shown. Point A is at
pogonyaev
Where's the "triangle with alt. BD?"  This problem can be solved without the diagram, but the solution would be easier with it.

BD is the altitude.  Find the length of BD by finding the dist. between (-1,4) and (2,4); it is 2-(-1), or 3.  |BD| = 3.

I've graphed the triangle myself and have found that the "base" of the triangle is the vertical line thru (2,1) and (2,6); its length is 6-1, or 5.

Thus, the area of this triangle is  A = (b)(h) / 2, or  A = (5)(3) / 2 = 10/3 square inches.
