The sum of two numbers is 70. one number is 8 more than the other. what's the smaller number?

1 answer:

4 0

X=8+y
x+y=70

Rewrite the first equation to x-y=8
Copy the second equation x+y=70

Add the two equations and you get 2x=78
Therefore, x=39. Since this is the bigger number the smaller number(y) would have to be 31 because you subtract 8 from x which is 39. 39 is your answer.

Using the speed - distance relationship, the time left before the appointed time is 27 minutes.

Recall :

Distance = speed × time

Let time = t

At 10mph :

Distance = 10 × (t + 3) = 10t + 30 - - - (1)

At 12 mph :

Distance = 12 × (t - 2) = 12t - 24 - - - - (2)

Equate (1) and (2) :

10t + 30 = 12t - 24

Collect like terms

10t - 12t = - 24 - 30

-2t = - 54

Divide both sides by - 2

t = 54 / 2

t = 27

Hence, the time left before the appointed time is 27 minutes.

The relationship between V, the value of his car, in dollars, and t, the elapsed time, in years, since he

Sergio [31]

Answer:

t = -24*log(2/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression is:

V = 22,500*10^(-t/12)

Replacing with V = 10,000 and isolating t, we get:

10,000 = 22,500*10^(-t/12)

10,000/22,500 = 10^(-t/12)

4/9 = 10^(-t/12)

(2/3)² = 10^(-t/12)

2*log(2/3) = -t/12

-12*2*log(2/3) = t

t = -24*log(2/3)

Write the equation in slope-intercept form. 4x+3y=18

Helen [10]

Answer:

y = -4/3x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 3y - 4x + 3y = 18 - 3y

2. 4x = -3y + 18

3. 18 - 4x = -3y + 18 - 18

4. -3/ -3y = 4x - 18 /3

5. y = -4/3x + 6
