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!!! :)

Mr.wilson wrote the fuction f(x)=7x-15 on the chalkboard.What is the value of this function for f(6)?
bixtya [17]

By plunging 5 into the equation as x, you have the equation

7(5) - 15

7 * 5 = 35 so

35 - 15

f(5) = 20

If 6-x=2(x-6) what is the value of x? need steps!!
V125BC [204]
6 - x = 2(x - 6)

the first step, following PEMDAS, is to distribute the 2 to the inside of your parentheses:
6 - x = 2x - 12 ... subtract 2x
6 - 3x = -12 ... subtract 6
-3x = -18 ... divide by -3
x = 6 is the answer

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{x}{6} - 7 = -4

Required

Solve for x

\frac{x}{6} - 7 = -4

Add 7 to both sides

\frac{x}{6} - 7+7 = -4+7

\frac{x}{6}  = -4+7

\frac{x}{6}  = 3

Multiply through by 6

6 * \frac{x}{6}  = 3 * 6

x = 3 * 6

x = 18

How do you do this?<br> Please help, I’ve been staring at this for like 10 min :)
damaskus [11]

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is given in the middle. You are supposed to insert the value of x into this formula to find the value of y (like in the first given example):

x=-2\\y=2(-2)+5\\y=-4+5\\y=1

------

x=-1\\y=2(-1)+5\\y=-2+5\\y=3

------

x=0\\y=2(0)+5\\y=0+5\\y=5

------

x=1\\y=2(1)+5\\y=2+5\\y=7

------

x=2\\y=2(2)+5\\y=4+5\\y=9
