Let's have the first number, the larger number, be <em>x</em>. We'll have the second, smaller number be <em>y</em>.
We know that x = y + 6, since x is 6 greater than y.
We also know that 330 = x + y.
Because x = y + 6, 330 = y + 6 + y, which simplifies to 330 = 2y + 6.
Now all we need to do is simplify the equation. First, we subtract 6 from both sides:
330 - 6 = 324
2y + 6 - 6 = 2y.
So we have 324 = 2y. Then we divide both sides by 2 to get:
162 = y
Plug in y = 162 into the equation x = y + 6 to get:
x = 162 + 6
x = 168
Let's check to make sure our answer is right. 168 is 6 more than 162. 162 + 168 equals 330. So our two numbers are 168 and 162.
Answer:
i think it is the last one.
B don’t quote me if I’m wrong
a) true
b) false
c) true
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>let's determine the first statement</h3><h3>to determine x-intercept </h3><h3>substitute y=0</h3>
so,
8x-2y=24
8x-2.0=24
8x=24
x=3
therefore
the first statement is <u>true</u>
let's determine the second statement
<h3>to determine y-intercept </h3><h3>substitute x=0</h3>
so,
8x-2y=24
8.0-2y=24
-2y=24
y=-12
therefore
the second statement is <u>False</u>
to determine the third statements
<h3>we need to turn the given equation into this form</h3><h2>y=mx+b</h2><h3>let's solve:</h3>
8x-2y=24
-2y=-8x+24
y=4x-12
therefore,
the third statement is also <u>true</u>
