So... let's say, we have two numbers "a" and "b",
"a" is the smaller one, "b" is the larger one
so, their sum is 6
a + b = 6

3 times the smaller => 3 * a or 3a
now, two less than that
3a - 2

that equals the larger "b"

3a - 2 = b
\bf a+b=6
\\\\
\boxed{3a-2}=b\\\\
--------------\\
thus
\\\\
a+(\boxed{3a-2})=6  

solve for "a",

now, what's "b"?  well, 3a - 2 = b :)

Answer:

The Sum Of ... means the items will be added. The sum of ... three times the smaller number: 3x. equals the ... We now have two things that are both equal to ... x = 6. We now know x = 6. We also know y=29-x. y = 29 - 6. y = 23.

Does anybody know the answer please.

Answer:

The sign of each y-coordinate changed.

Step-by-step explanation:

This was a reflection over the x-axis.

If you look at point F, it is (-5, -1) the corresponding point F' is (-5,1).  Notice the numerical values of x and y are the same, but the sign of y flipped from negative to positive. The other four points all follow the same pattern.

Emily flipped a coin 30 times the coin landed heads up nine times and tails up 21 times
lara [203]
Part A)
 The coin landed on heads 9 times out of 30 flips, so the experimental probability is 9/30, which reduces to 3/10 probability.

Part B)
 Theoretically a coin has a 1/2 probability of landing on heads each flip

A parabola and its directrix are shown on the graph. On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens upward. It has a vertex at (0, 0) a
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The focus of the parabola is at the point (0, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the focus of a parabola resides at the same distance from the parabola's vertex, as the distance from the parabola's vertex to the directrix, and on the side of the curve's concavity. In fact this is a nice geometrical property of the parabola and the way it can be constructed base of its definition: "All those points on the lane whose distance to the focus equal the distance to the directrix."

Then, the focus must be at a distance of two units from the vertex, (0,0), on in line with the parabola's axis of symmetry (x=0), and on the positive side of the y-axis (notice the directrix is on the negative side of the y-axis. So that puts the focus of this parabola at the point (0, 2)

8. If k = log, 3 then log, 48 =<br> 16<br> (1) 2k +3<br> (3) k +8<br> (2) 3k +1<br> (4) k +4
vekshin1

assuming you means k = log_2(3) [as log(2)3 is the same thing as 3log(2) due to multiplication being commutative]

given log(ab) = log(a) + log(b)

log_2(48) = log_2(3) + log_2(16)
