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
Answer:
x=1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
The steps are in the picture below
Answer:
B Equation 2 has the smaller y intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation 1
y = -3x-2
This is in the form y= mx+b
The y intercept is b = -2
Equation 2
y = 1/2x-3
This is in the form y= mx+b
The y intercept is b = -3
-2 > -3
The smaller number is -3
If the second leg is x so
x² = b² - a²
x² = (20)² - (12)² = 256
x = 16 in
