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

A commercial aircraft gets the best fuel efficiency if it operates at a minimum altitude of 29,000 feet and a maximum altitude o
natita [175]

Answer:

x\geq 29,000  and  x\leq 41,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the altitude of a commercial aircraft

we know that

The expression " A minimum altitude of 29,000 feet" is equal to

x\geq 29,000

All real numbers greater than or equal to 29,000 ft

The expression " A maximum altitude of 41,000 feet" is equal to

x\leq 41,000

All real numbers less than or equal to 41,000 ft

therefore

The compound inequality is equal to

x\geq 29,000  and  x\leq 41,000

All real numbers greater than or equal to 29,000 ft and less than or equal to 41,000 ft

The solution is the interval ------> [29,000,41,000]
