We write to expressions since there are two unknown here which is x and y. The first expression is the <span>sum of two numbers, x and y, is 12.

x + y = 12

The second expression is that the </span><span>difference of x and two times y is 6.

x -2y = 6

Therefore, the values of x and y are 10 and 2.</span>

Answer:

The values of x= 10 and y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume x>y

The first statement states that sum of two numbers,  x and y, is 12

then, we can write this statement in algebraic expression:

x+y =12   ...[1]

The second statement states that the difference of x and two times y is 6.

we can write it as :

x -2y =6    ....[2]

Now, subtracting equations, we  will eliminate x leaving an equation in y that we can solve:

⇒ [1]-[2] gives

(x+y)-(x-2y) = 12-6

or

x+y-x+2y = 6

On simplify we get;

3y=6 or

y=2

Now, substitute the value of y=2 in equation [1] we get;

x+2=12

On simplify, we get;

x =10

therefore, the values of  x and y are, 10 and 2.

Answer:

The answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 X's therefore there will be two sets of quotations with one X in each. Then find the multiples of 50.

Try -5 and +5 go in with the x which makes the answer C

A golf ball is hit from the ground with an initial velocity of 208 ft./s. assume the starting height of the ball is 0 feet. how
V125BC [204]
Check the picture below, it hits the ground at y = 0

thus

\bf \qquad \textit{initial velocity}\\\\&#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;\qquad \textit{in feet}\\\\&#10;h(t) = -16t^2+v_ot+h_o&#10;\end{array} &#10;\quad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;v_o=\textit{initial velocity of the object}\\&#10;h_o=\textit{initial height of the object}\\&#10;h=\textit{height of the object at "t" seconds}\\&#10;----------\\&#10;v_o=208\\&#10;h_o=0&#10;\end{cases}

\bf h(t)=-16t^2+208t+0\implies h(t)=-16t^2+208t\impliedby &#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;\textit{now let's}\\&#10;make\\ h(t)=0&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;0=-16t^2+208t\implies 0=t(208-16t)&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;0=t\\&#10;----------\\&#10;0=208-16t\\&#10;\qquad 16t=208\\&#10;\qquad t=\frac{208}{16}&#10;\end{cases}

and I'm sure you know how much that is

it hits it at two points, as you notice in the picture, at 0 seconds, when it's first hit and goes up, and when it falls down.

Find an equation of the line that (a) has y-intercept of -8 and (b) is parallel to the line 6 x − 1 y = 7 6x-1y=7 . Write your a
faust18 [17]

Answer:

The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is:

\:y=6x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is

y\:=\:mx\:+\:b

As y intercept is -8, we have

y\:=\:mx\:-8

Since the line is parallel to 6x-y=7, then it has the same slope.

Let's put this equation in y\:=\:mx\:+\:b  form and find the slope

6x-y=7

y=6x-7

Thus, the slope is :

m = 6

Now we can finish the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form

y\:=\:mx\:+\:b

\:y=6x-8           ∵ m = 6, b = -8

Therefore, the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is:

\:y=6x-8
