Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Let x be the smaller and y be the largest number.

Since x+y=13, we deduce y=13-x

Now, for the translation: "two more than the larger number" is y+2 , while "twice the smaller" is 2x

Their sum is y+2+2x

And since we know that y=13-x, we have y+2+2x=13-x+2+2=15+x

What is the equation of this trend line?
solmaris [256]

Equation of this line is K = -2J + 28

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

The equation can be written in slope intercept form which is y = mx + b

Step 2:

Calculate slope of the line, m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

⇒ m = (24 - 20)/(2 - 4) = 4/-2) = -2

Step 3:

Find y-intercept of the line

⇒ b = 28

Step 4:

Substitute values in the equation

⇒ K = -2J + 28

Solve 20x+ 5y = 15 for y.
Nesterboy [21]

20x+ 5y = 15

Move 20x to the other side. Sign changes from +20x to -20x

20x-20x+5y=-20x+15

5y=-20x+15

Divide both sides by 5

5y/5=y ( Cross out 5 and 5, divide by 5, 1*1*y=y)

-20/5=-4x

15/5=3

y=-4x+3 or y=3-4x

Answer: y=-4x+3 or y=3-4x
