One number is seven less than five times another. If their sum is decreased by four the result is one. Find the numbers

1 answer:

6 0

Let the number be Y .
Y is seven
less than 5 times another (let that other be X)
Y=7-5X
sum of both Y and X minus 4 gives one
Y+X-4=1
now solve both equations .

Answer:

35/3

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x+6 + 6x+2+x+6}{3} =4x-7$

Simplify to get

9x+14=3(4x-7)

35=3x

The ordered pairs (1,6), (,25), (3,36), (4,49) and (5, 64) represent a function. what is a rule that represents this function?

vodka [1.7K]

I believe this is a function. I am not sure because one of the pairs only has a y value.
But the rule is there can only be one x value for one y value so for example, you can have (3.7) and (3,9) and the same for the y values.

Solve the equation 4x^2 + 24x + 13 = 2x^2+ 6x to the nearest tenth.

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

-0.8 and -8.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve a quadratic you first need to have one side of the equation equal to zero (because x-intercepts are when y is zero).

4x^2 + 24x + 13 = 2x^2 + 6x

2x^2 + 18x + 13 = 0

Then you can use the quadratic formula to solve for x. You will then come to

-18 ± sqrt(220) / 4

This will simplify out (rounding to the nearest tenth) to -0.8 and -8.2
