Answer: Hope this helps.

13, 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Number one is 13

Number two is 7

Well 7 x 2 = 14, 14-1 = 7, and 7+13 = 20 making the answers true.

I figured out this number by eliminating numbers, I started with 5, ended with 8 to make a range of the possible numbers. Since 5 was too low and 8 was too high I knew the number had to be either 6 or 7, so I did 7 and I got the answer.

Answer:

7 and 13

You can set up a simple equation to solve this: <u>x + (2x-1) = 20</u>

The x stands for the second, smaller number because the larger number is one less than twice it. When added together, they equal 20.

Now, you just solve for x. It goes as follows:

x + 2x - 1 = 20

3x - 1 = 20

3x = 21

<u>x = 7</u>


Since one number is 7, the other number has to be 13 to add up to 20.


Hope this helps!!! :)

mrs.jackson gives the table below to her students in order for the function to be linear what must m be and why?​
Hunter-Best [27]

M or the slope has to be constant throughout the graph. This is because in order for a line to be linear it has to be increasing or decreasing at the same rate. So it the slope was 2 from point x 1 -2 then the slope changed to 1 from 3-4 it would not be linear. :)

Answer:

240 \leq 12.5p + 65

14 \leq\\ p

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll explain the equation in different parts

12.5p - Since the number of times he visits is unknown, it has to be a variable. With each visit, however, he earns 12.5 points.

65 - This is a set value that remains constant

240 \leq\\ - Since he needs AT LEAST 240 points, he needs 240 points or more to get his free ticket

As for solving the equation just use properties of equality

240 \leq 12.5p + 65

175 \leq 12.5p

14 \leq\\ p

The graph of y= f(X) is shown below, what point could be used to find f(3)?
balandron [24]

Answer:

Point A

Step-by-step explanation:

The long that would be used to find f(3) is the point that shows the value of y when x = 3.

Looking at the graph given, the only point that shows the value of y when x = 3 is point A.

When x = 3, y = 0.

Therefore, f(3) = 0.
