Answer:

14, 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are two different variables, setting up a system of equations and using the elimination method will eliminate one variable and allow you to solve.

First equation: 'the sum of two numbers is 36'

x + y = 36

Second equation: 'twice the first number minus the second is 6'

2x - y = 6

Elimination (add equations):

x + y = 36

+ 2x - y = 6

3x = 42

x = 14

Solve for 'y':

14 + y = 36

y = 22

The sum of two consecutive integers is -133 find the integers

Bess [88]

-133/2=-66.5

If we take the upper and lower round of that number we will get the 2 consecutive numbers that make -133.
Therefore the answer is -66 & -67.

Which relationship describes angles 1 and 2?

MissTica

1) supplementary angles => sum of angles' measure is 180°

Two lines intersecting creating four angles with the left obtuse angle labeled one and the acute angle to the right labeled two

= > angle 1 + angle 2 = 180°

Then those two match.

2) complementary angles => sum of the two angles = 90°

Two lines intersecting in a right angle with a square indicating a right angle in quadrant one and a ray splitting quadrant two with a two labeling the left angle and one labeling the angle on the right

=> angle 2 + angle 1 = 90°

Then those two match

3) vertical angles

Two parallel horizontal lines intersected by a vertical line with a square indicating a right angle in quadrant one of the top line and a one labeling the angle in quadrant two and two labeling quadrant four of the top line

Those two matches because the angle label 1 and the angle label 2 are vertical angles as per the definittion.

4) adjacent angles

Two lines intersecting in a V shape with the left angle of one hundred fifty seven degrees and a bottom angle of X degrees

Those two match becasue the angle of 157° and the angle of X° are adjacent.

Write the equation of a line in slope intercept form given; (6,-3), (0, 5)

olganol [36]

Answer:

$y=(-4/3)x+5$

Step-by-step explanation:

so you want to start by using y=mx+b

step one: find the slope (remember m is the slope in this)

m= $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

m= $\frac{5+3}{0-6}$

m= $\frac{8}{-6}$

m= - $\frac{4}{3\\}$

step two: insert the value we found for m into the equation and take one of the given points and insert the x and y into the equation (im using (0,5)) and solve for b.

y=mx+b

5= -4/3(0)+b

5=b

step three: rewrite y=mx+b with the values we found for m and for b

$y=(-4/3)x+5$

Simplify this expression

kompoz [17]

The first step for solving this problem is to know that in order to divide by a fraction,, we must multiply by the reciprocal of that fraction. This will look like the following:
$\frac{x+2}{ x^{2} -6x-16}$ × 9x
Write -6x as a difference.
$\frac{x+2}{ x^{2} +2x-8x-16}$ × 9x
Factor out x from x² + 2x.
$\frac{x+2}{ x X (x+2)-8x-16}$ × 9x
Factor out -8 from -8(x + 2).
$\frac{x+2}{ x X (x+2)-8(x+2)}$ × 9x
Factor out x + 2 from the denominator (bottom) of the expression.
$\frac{x+2}{(x+2)X(x-8)}$ × 9x
Reduce the fraction with x + 2
$\frac{1}{x-8}$ × 9x
Finally,, calculate the product to find your final answer.
$\frac{9x}{x-8}$
This means that the correct answer to your question is going to be option B.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
