x\ \ \rightarrow\ \  the\ first\ number\\y\ \ \rightarrow\ \  the\ second\ number\\\\ y=2\cdot x-8\\\\for\ example:\\\\x=-2\ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ y=2\cdot(-2)-8=-4-8=-12\\x=0\ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ y=2\cdot0-8=0-8=-8\\x=7\ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ y=2\cdot7-8=14-8=6\\

So the two numbers can be represented as x and y

so x is first and y is second

y=2(x)-8

so y=2x-8


IF THEY ARE CONSECUTIVE
If they are consecutive numbers then 
x+1=y
subtitute
x+1=2x-8 
subtract x from both sides
1=x-8
add 8 to both sides and get
9=x
put it into the equation and get
y=2(9)-8
y=18-8
y=10
so x=9
y=10 
IF X AND Y ARE CONSECUTIVE INTEGERS (1,2,3,4 not 2.3 or 1,3,5,8)

The table represents a function.
Elenna [48]

f(5) is -8 ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Function is a relation between set of of ordered pairs (x , y),and every x has only one y

Examples:

  • {(-1 , 2) , (2 , 4) , (5 , -3)} is a function because x = -1 has only y = 2, x = 2 has only y = 4 and x = 5 has only y = -3
  • {(-2 , 4) , (0 , -1) , (-2 , 5)} is not a function because x = -2 has y = 4 and 5

The notation of the function is f(x) = y

The table:

→    x     :    f(x)

→    -4    :    -2

→    -1     :    5

→     3    :    4

→     5    :   -8

From the table

∵ x = -4

- The corresponding value of y to x = -4 is -2

∴ f(-4) = -2

∵ x = -1

- The corresponding value of y to x = -1 is 5

∴ f(-1) = 5

∵ x = 3

- The corresponding value of y to x = 3 is 4

∴ f(3) = 4

∵ x = 5

- The corresponding value of y to x = 5 is -8

∴ f(5) =-8

f(5) is -8

Point S is on line segment RT given ST=3x-8, RT = 4x, and RS = 4x - 7, determine the numerical length of RT
seraphim [82]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Segment ST is half and RS is the other half. RT is the whole line so adding ST and RS will get you RT. 4x-7+3x-8=4x. solve for x which will get you 5. Replace the x with 5 in 4x (for segment RT) will get you an answer of 20 for the whole line.
