Three times a first number decreased by a second number

Mathematics
1 answer:
ki77a [65]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The two numbers are 3 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3X-Y=12\\X + 4Y=17\\

Multiply top equation by 4 to cancel out the Ys

12X - 4Y = 48\\X + 4Y = 17\\\\13X = 65\\X = 5\\

Since X =5, we can plug it into either of the top two equations to find out the value of Y

3(5) - Y = 12\\15 - Y = 12\\Y = 3

To double check

3(5) - 3 \\15 - 3\\12\\\\5 + 4(3) \\5 + 12\\17

Solve the following exponential equations.<br> 10^(3x−5) = 7^x
zalisa [80]

Answer:

x = 2.3202

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

10^{(3x-5)} = 7^x

on taking log both sides, we get

\log(10^{(3x-5))} =\log(7^x)

now,

using the property of log function

log(aᵇ) = b × log(a)

therefore,

we get

(3x-5)log(10) = xlog(7)

now,

log(10) = 1

and

log(7) = 0.84509

thus,

( 3x - 5 ) × 1 = 0.84509x

or

3x - 0.84509x - 5 = 0

or

2.15491x = 5

or

x = 2.3202

Answer:

  £135.98

Step-by-step explanation:

  (760\text{ mi})\dfrac{1\text{ gal}}{29.5\text{ mi}}\cdot\dfrac{4.55\text{ L}}{1\text{ gal}}\cdot\dfrac{\pounds1.16}{1\text{ L}}=\dfrac{760\cdot4.55\cdot\pounds1.16}{29.5}\\\\=\boxed{\pounds135.98}

Is (3, 2) a solution of -8x – 2y &lt; 6?
zzz [600]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if the point is a solution, substitute the coordinates into the left side of the inequality, evaluate and compare with right side.

- 8(3) - 2(2) = - 24 - 4 = - 28 < 6

Thus (3, 2) is a solution
