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!!! :)

NO LINKS!!! Find the equation of the PARABOLA with a vertex at (-2, 6) and passing through the point (1, -3)​
levacccp [35]

General equation of parabola

  • y=a(x-h)²+k

for vertex(h,k)

Now

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow y=a(x+2)^2+6

  • Put (1,-3) and find a

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow -3=a(1+2)^2+6

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow -9=a(3)^2

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow -9=9a

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow a=-1

So

equation of parabola

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow y=-(x+2)^2+6

In order to solve the system of linear equations, the coefficients of one of the variables must be the same number but opposite
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

because both equations do not have matching numbers for the x or y variable, and both equations are positive you are going to have to multiply each equation by a number  so that there will be at least one variable with the same number but with opposite signs.

it does not matter which variable you choose.

lets use y because 2 and 3 are smaller then 2 and 5.

so lets multiply the first equation by 2 in order to get y equal to 6.

2(2x)+2(3y)=(2)6

(do not forget to multiply what the equation is equal to also)

4x+6y=12

now for the second equation we need y to equal negative 6

-3(5x)+-3(2y)=-3(4)

-15x-6y=-12

now lets put the 2 new equations next to each other and see what we can cancel out

4x+6y=12

-15x-6y=-12

-11x=0

x=0

now plug 0 in for x and solve for y (it does not matter which of the 4 equations you choose to solve.

2(0)+3y=6

3y=6

y=2

so your answer is x=0, y=2

Simplify 10/16 to the lowest terms and find an equivalent fraction that has a denominator of 32.
Natalija [7]

Answer:

5/8,  20/32

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 10/16 by 2 as that is the GCF (greatest common factor) = 5/8

To find an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 32 multiply 10/16 by 2 = 20/32
