Answer: The numbers are -3 and - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x and the second number be y , then from the first statement we have

x + 3 = y  ............. equation 1

From the second statement

2y  = 3x + 12 ............ equation 2

solving the resulting simultaneous equation by substitution method ,we have:

substitute x - 3= y  into equation 2 , we have

2( x + 3) = 3x + 12

2x + 6 = 3x +  12

2x - 3x = 6

x = -6

substitute x = - 6 into equation 1 , that is

- 6 + 3 = y

Therefore ,

y = -3

2y = 3y + 3

Check:

x + 3 = y , implies

-6 + 3 = -3 = y

Also 2y = 3x + 12 , implies

2(-3) = -6

3(-6) + 12 = -6

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-4, -5) and<br> (-8, -2)?
nikklg [1K]

Solution:

<u>Step-1: Find the slope of the line.</u>

Formula of slope: y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁

  • y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁ = Slope
  • => -2 - (-5)/-8 - (-4) = Slope
  • => -2 + 5/-8 + 4 = Slope
  • => 3/-4 = Slope

<u>Step-2: Use the point slope formula to determine the slope.</u>

Point slope form formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

  • y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) = Equation of line
  • => y - (-5) = -3/4{x - (-4)} = Equation of line
  • => y + 5 = -3/4{x + 4} = Equation of line
  • => y + 5 = -3x/4 - 3 = Equation of line
  • => y = -3x/4 - 8 = Equation of line

The equation of the line is <u>y = -3x/4 - 8.</u>

The formula K=59(F−32)+273.15 converts temperatures from Fahrenheit F to Kelvin K.
Semmy [17]

Answer:

9/5 (K-273.15) + 32=F

Step-by-step explanation:

K=5 /9(F−32)+273.15

Subtract 273.15 from each side

K-273.15=5/9(F−32)+273.15-273.15

K-273.15=5/9(F−32)

Multiply by 9/5 on each side

9/5 (K-273.15)= 9/5 *5/9(F−32)

9/5 (K-273.15)=(F−32)

Add 32 to each side

9/5 (K-273.15) + 32=F−32 +32

9/5 (K-273.15) + 32=F
