We can use a system of equations in order to solve for both of the numbers. Let's start off by assigning variables to each number. The bigger number can be 'x', and the smaller number can be 'y'.

We can make two equations from the given:

x = 18 + y

("One number is 18 more than another number")

x + y = 36

("The sum of the numbers is 36")

If you look at the first equation, the variable 'x' already has a value (18 + y). We can input its value into the second equation in order to solve for y:

x + y = 36

(18 + y) + y = 36

18 + 2y = 36

2y = 18

y = 9

Input the value of 'y' into the first equation:

x = 18 + y

x = 18 + 9

x = 27

<u>One number is 27 and the other number number is 9.</u>

<u></u>

Let me know if you'd like me to explain anything I did here.

Find the domain of the following piecewise function
r-ruslan [8.4K]

The domain of the function will be [-4, 6). Then the correct option is B.

The complete question is attached below.

<h3>What are domain and range?</h3>

The domain means all the possible values of x and the range means all the possible values of y.

The function is given below.

f(x) = \left\{\begin{matrix}x+4, & if & -4\leq x < 3 \\\\2x-1, & if & 3 \leq x < 6 \\\end{matrix}\right.

Then the domain of the function will be [-4, 6).

Then the correct option is B.

More about the domain and range link is given below.

XZ=n, WZ=2x-5, and the perimeter of ΔXWZ is 20. What is the value of n?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

d.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's an isosceles triangle, WX=WZ= 2n-5

Perimeter = n + (2n-5) + (2n-5)

= 5n - 10

The Perimeter is given to be 20

5n - 10 = 20

5n = 30

n = 6
