The sum of two numbers is -12 one number is 3 less than twice the other what is the bigger number

1 answer:

3 0

STEP 1:
x= one number
2x-3= other number

x + (2x-3)= -12
combine like terms

3x - 3= -12
add 3 to both sides

3x= -9
divide both sides by 3

x= -3 one number

STEP 2:
substitute x= -3 to find other number
2x-3= 2(-3)-3= -6-3= -9 other number

CHECK:
-3 -9= -12
-12= -12

ANSWER: One #= -3, Other #= -9

Hope this helps! :)

Write the equation of a line, in SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM, that is perpendicular to the given equation and passes through the given

adoni [48]

Step-by-step explanation:

slope interception formula is

y-y1=m(x-x1)

where m is m=y-y1/x-x1 in this case m=-2 because the line we are trying to find is parallel to the given one y=-2x-6 where slope k=-2

so the final equation would be

y-1=-2(x-(-4))

y-1=-2x-2*4

y=-2x-8+1=-2x-7

Examine the fraction 3+2i4−2i. Which expression is the first step to simplify the fraction? 3+2i4−2i⋅3−2i3−2i

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is the last option.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have a fraction with complex numbers, the first step to simplify is to multiply up and down the conjugate of the denominator, this will eliminate the complex part of the denominator, and in this way you can separate the expression in its real and complex part.

For the expression:

$\frac{3 + 2i}{4-2i
}$

The denominator conjugate is 4 + 2i

When multiplied, the denominator is:

$4 ^ 2 -4i ^ 2 = 16 -4 (-1) = 20$
