Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we call the numbers x and y

then from the given data:

x+y=18

x-y=2

we add both sides of both equations

x+y+x-y=20

2x=20

x=10

we use the first equation:

10+y=18

then y=8

the larger number is x=10

Here is a list of spelling-test results.Calculate the mean.14,19,19,20,16,18,15,17,12

makvit [3.9K]

To find the mean (average), we first need to add up all the test scores (14 + 19 + 19 + 20 + 16 + 18 + 15 + 17 + 12 = 150). Then, we need to divide that number (150) by the number of numbers in the data set (9 in this case). So the mean of these test scores is about 16.6666666667.

I still don’t understand can someone give a helping hand?

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A, B, C, and D, are all functions. the " { " is saying that those functions can are different at different points. For A the function is $A= -x-2$ when $x< 2$ and then $A=x+4$ when $x\geq -2$ . At the point $x=-2$ you can see that the function on the graph is going in two different directions but it stops at $x=-2$ .

Based on the graph you can see that the line on the left has a slope of -1 and if it kept going it would cross the y-axis at $y=-2$ , therefore the equation for the first line is $y =-x-2$ when $x$

The second line on the right side has a slope of 1 and crosses the y-axis at $y=4$ so the equation for that line is $y=x+4$ when $x\geq -2$ .

The only answer that matches these requirements is A
