Answer: 20 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Using a little guess and check, we can figure out that the numbers are 6 apart and the difference between their squares is 204.

$20^2 = 400\\14^2=196$

$20^2-14^2 = 204$

A trick to doing this is to start with a number that is easily squared like 10 or 20 and see if the difference between their numbers is larger or smaller and change your numbers based on them.

Hope this helped :)

Answer:

14 and 20

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em> Let x and y be two numbers where x < y</em></u><em>.</em>

We are given :

y - x = 6

y² - x² = 204

Then

y - x = 6

(y - x)(y + x) = 204

Then

y - x = 6

6 × (y + x) = 204

then

y - x = 6 (Equation 1)

y + x = 34 (Equation 2)

Then

(Equation 1) + (Equation 2) ⇒ 2y = 40 ⇒ y = 20

Now ,we substitute y by 20 in equation 1 :

y - x = 6

⇔ 20 - x = 6

⇔ 20 - 6 = x

⇔ x = 14

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer: The winning ticket is $2(x-6)=-35$ is equivalent to $2x=-23$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's check all the options

$4(x-5)=35$ is not equivalent to $4x=40$

$\text{since }4(x-5)=35\\\Rightarrow4x-20=35\\\Rightarrow4x=35+20\\\Rightarrow4x=55$

$8(x-7)=35$ is not equivalent to $8x=28$

$\text{since }8(x-7)=35\\\Rightarrow8x-56=35\\\Rightarrow8x=35+56\\\Rightarrow8x=91$

$2(x-6)=-35$ is equivalent to $2x=-23$

$\text{since }2(x-6)=-35\\\Rightarrow2x-12=-35\\\Rightarrow2x=-35+12\\\Rightarrow2x=-23$

$9(x-6)=-35$ is not equivalent to $9x=-29$

$\text{since }9(x-5)=-35\\\Rightarrow9x--40=-35\\\Rightarrow9x=-35+40\\\Rightarrow9x=5$

Thus, the winning ticket is $2(x-6)=-35$ is equivalent to $2x=-23$ .

Which table does NOT represent a linear function

topjm [15]

TABLE D does NOT represent a linear function

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The Table is shown below. Each table is a relationship between two variables, namely x and y. By plotting each table in a graphing tool we get:

TABLE A, FIRST FIGURE:

It is a linear function because we can draw a line that passes through all the points. By using two points, this line has a slope:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\ \\ m=\frac{8-5}{-1-0} \\ \\ m=-3$

TABLE C, SECOND FIGURE:

It is a linear function because we can draw a line that passes through all the points. By using two points, this line has a slope:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\ \\ m=\frac{5-10}{-1-0} \\ \\ m=5$

TABLE C, THIRD FIGURE:

It is a linear function because we can draw a line that passes through all the points. By using two points, this line has a slope:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\ \\ m=\frac{1-2}{-1-0} \\ \\ m=2$

TABLE D, FOURTH FIGURE:

It is not a linear function. It is likely this is a parabola that opens downward.
