The sum of two numbers if just the numbers added together, so you would just need to do some simple algebra.

The ages added together are 68, and the opposite of addition is subtraction!

(total age) - (sarahs age) = (mothers age)
68 - 24 = 44

44 should be her mothers age!


(If you were trying to calculate the sum of their ages, you would just add them together, and 24 + 44 = 68)

The sum of two numbers is 95. If the larger is increased by twice the smaller, the result is 120. Find the numbers.
adelina 88 [10]
Hello!

You can make two expressions based on what you know

let x equal the larger number
let y equal the smaller number

x + y = 95
x + 2y = 120

We can use elimination to get rid of x

You can subtract the two equation to get rid of x

-y = -25

Since y is negative we can multiply both sides by -1 to make y positive

y = 25

Now we can put this into one of the other equations to find x

x + 25 = 95

subtract 95 from both sides

x = 70

The answers are 70 and 25

Hope this helps!

Which graph represents a function?
Sliva [168]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is where each input (here, the input is x) corresponds to exactly one output (here, the output is y). In other words, if a function is graphed, we should be able to draw a vertical line through every single part of it that will intersect it at only one place.

Let's examine each choice.

(A) Well, if we draw a vertical line through the graph, it will obviously intersect the entire line - which is an infinite number of intersections, so this is not a function.

(B) If we draw a vertical line through the portion of the graph that lies near the positive x-axis, we note that it will intersect twice, so this is not a function.

(C) If we strategically draw a vertical line through the y-axis, we see it will intersect two times, so this is not a function.

(D) We can draw a vertical line through any portion of this graph and know that it will only intersect once.

Therefore, the answer is D.

Hey!

Hope this helps...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How you right ANY log in Exponential form is like this:

Log_x Z = y

x^y = Z


So...

Log_3 27 = 3

3^3 = 27 would be your answer...

q = 3n

0.05n + 0.25(3n) = 160
0.05n + 0.75n = 1.60...multiply by 100 to get rid of the decimals
