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

Which values are solutions to the inequality below? √x ≤ 5

Romashka [77]

$\sqrt{x} \leq 5$

Find the real region for $\sqrt{x}$

$\sqrt{x}$ is real for $x \geq 0$

$= x \geq 0$

$\sqrt{x} \leq 5$

Square both sides:

$( \sqrt{x} )^2 \leq 5^2$

$5^2 = 5*5 =25$

Refine:

$x \leq 25$

Answer D

Country A has a growth rate of 4.9% per year. The population is currently 4 comma 151,000, and the land area of Country A is 1

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

There will be one person on 1 square yard of land after 1,892,147.588 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Continuous exponential growth formula:

$P(t)=Pe^{rt}$

P(t)= Population after t years.

P= Initial population

r=rate of growth.

t= time in year

Given that,

Growth rate of country A (r)= 4.9% per year=0.049 per year.

Initial population (P)= 151,000.

Land area of country area= 14,000,000,000 square yards.

There will be one person on one square yard of land.

So, there will be 14,000,000,000 person for 14,000,000,000 square yard of land in country A.

P(t)=14,000,000,000 person

$\therefore 14,000,000,000= 151,000 e^{0.049t}$

$\Rightarrow e^{0.049t}=\frac{ 14,000,000,000}{ 151,000}$

Taking ln both sides

$\Rightarrow ln|e^{0.049t}|=ln|\frac{ 14,000,000,000}{ 151,000}|$

$\Rightarrow {0.049t}=ln|\frac{ 14,000,000,000}{ 151,000}|$

$\Rightarrow t}=\frac{ln|\frac{ 14,000,000,000}{ 151,000}|}{0.049}$

$\Rightarrow t}=1,892,147.588$ years

There will be one person for every square yard of land after 1,892,147.588 years.

A. 4,-4<br> B. 2,-5<br> C.0,6<br> D.-2,5<br> Which would it be?

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we insert the original coordinates into the problem, we will find the answer.

(2+2, 1-5)

so, once solved

(4, -4)

remember, adding to X means moving the point right, subtracting to X means moving left.

Adding to Y means moving the point up, subtracting to Y means moving down.

Round the whole number to the given place. 75,801,300 to the nearest million

valina [46]

Answer:

76,000,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the 100,000 place and see whether to round up or down - 8 is larger than 5, therefore 75,000,000 gets rounded up to 76,000,000
