Mira picked two numbers from a bowl. The difference of the two numbers was 4, and the sum of one-half of each number was 18. The

system that represents Mira’s numbers is below. 1/2x – 1/2y = 4 x + y = 18 Which two numbers did Mira pick?

Answer:

Option C is correct

(20, 16)

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the statement:

Mira picked two numbers from a bowl. The difference of the two numbers was 4, and the sum of one-half of each number was 18

System of equation is given as:

\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}y = 18            .....[1]

x-y = 4                                           .....[2]

Multiply both sides by 2 in [1] we have;

x+y = 36             ....[3]

Add equations [2] and [3] we have;

2x = 40

Divide both sides by 2 we have;

x = 20

Substitute the value of x in [2] we have;

20-y = 4

Subtract 20 from both sides we have;

-y = -16

Divide both sides by -1 we have;

y = 16

therefore, the two numbers did Mira pick is, (20, 16)

Solve the inequality for u.<br> 22≤-4u-2<br> Simplify your answer as much as possible.
larisa [96]

Answer:

<u>u ≤ -6</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

  • 22 ≤ -4u - 2

Add 2 on both sides :

  • 22 + 2 ≤ -4u - 2  + 2
  • -4u ≥ 24

Divide both sides by -4 (remember the sign changes direction when divided by a negative number) :

  • -4u/-4 ≥ 24/-4
  • <u>u ≤ -6</u>

Answer:

3rd option

Step-by-step explanation:

(\frac{f}{g} )(x)

= \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}

= \frac{2x^2-5x-3}{2x^2+5x+2} ← factorise numerator and denominator

= \frac{(x-3)(2x+1)}{(x+2)(2x+1)} ← cancel (2x + 1) on numerator/ denominator

= \frac{x-3}{x+2}

An aircraft factory manufactures airplane engines. The unit cost C (the cost in dollars to make each airplane engine) depends on
butalik [34]

Answer:

90 engines must be made to minimize the unit cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex of a quadratic function:

Suppose we have a quadratic function in the following format:

f(x) = ax^{2} + bx + c

It's vertex is the point (x_{v}, y_{v})

In which

x_{v} = -\frac{b}{2a}

y_{v} = -\frac{\Delta}{4a}

Where

\Delta = b^2-4ac

If a>0, the minimum value of the function will happen for x = x_v

C(x)=x²-180x+20,482

This means that a = 1, b = -180, c = 20482

How many engines must be made to minimize the unit cost?

x value of the vertex. So

x_{v} = -\frac{b}{2a} = -\frac{-180}{2(1)} = 90

90 engines must be made to minimize the unit cost.
