Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y

The sum of the two numbers is 56 :

Step 1:

X + Y = 56.......... (1)

Also, the first number is 2 times greater than the second number:

Step 2:

2X + Y = 0........... (2)

By substitution method, make Y the subject from (2)

Step 3:

Y = -2X .......... (3)

Put (3) into (1)

Step 4

X - 2X = 56

-X = 56

\frac{ - x}{ - 1}  =  \frac{56}{ - 1}

X = -56

Put X=56 into (3)

Step 5

y =  - 2( - 56)

y = 112

The second number is now 112.

Answer:

y = 56/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write equations to solve

Let the two numbers be x and y

The sum is 56

x+y = 56

The first number is 2 times greater than the second number.

x = 2*y

Substitute this into the first equation

x+y = 56

2y+y=56

3y = 56

y = 56/3

Mamont248 [21]
$1.75 + $0.25x <span>≤ $15; x < 53

So the first one. Because you must pay the flat fee, and then for x miles you must pay $0.25. When you do (15-1.75) / 0.25 the answer is 53.</span>

Write a function to represent the set of ordered pairs.<br> {(2, 2), (3,7). (4, 14), (5,23)}
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The set of ordered pairs {(1 , 7) , (−1 , 7) , (8 , −6) , (−3 , 2)} is a function

The set of ordered pairs {(4 , 7) , (−1 , 2) , (4 , −6) , (−3 , −2)} is not a

function

The set of ordered pairs {(3 , 7) , (−1 , 2) , (−4 , −2) , (−3 , −2)} is a function

The set of ordered pairs {(−3 , 7) , (1 , 2) , (4 ,−2) , (12,−4)} is a function

An ordered pair represents a relationship between two values

The first value is the input the second value is the output

1. A relation is a set of inputs and outputs

2. A function is a relation with one output for each input

3. All functions are relations

{(1 , 7) , (−1 , 7) , (8 , −6) , (−3 , 2)}

∵ Each x-coordinate in each ordered pair has only one y-coordinate

∴ The relation above is a function

The set of ordered pairs {(1 , 7) , (−1 , 7) , (8 , −6) , (−3 , 2)} is a function

{(4 , 7) , (−1 , 2) , (4 , −6) , (−3 , −2)}

∵ The x-coordinate 4 has two values of y (7 and -6)

∴ The relation above is not a function

The set of ordered pairs {(4 , 7) , (−1 , 2) , (4 , −6) , (−3 , −2)} is not a

function

{(3 , 7) , (−1 , 2) , (−4 , −2) , (−3 , −2)}

∵ Each x-coordinate in each ordered pair has only one y-coordinate

∴ The relation above is a function

The set of ordered pairs {(3 , 7) , (−1 , 2) , (−4 , −2) , (−3 , −2)} is a function

{(−3 , 7) , (1 , 2) , (4 ,−2) , (12,−4)}

∵ Each x-coordinate in each ordered pair has only one y-coordinate

∴ The relation above is a function

The set of ordered pairs {(−3 , 7) , (1 , 2) , (4 ,−2) , (12,−4)} is a function
