Answer:

a) y = 2x - 3 and y = -2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here x is the larger number and y is the smaller number,

Given,

The difference between twice of x, and y is 3.

That is,

2x - y = 3\implies y = 2x - 3-----(1)

And, The sum of twice of x and y is –3,

2x + y = -3\implies y = -2x - 3-----(2)

Hence, from equation (1) and (2),

We can say that,

Option a is correct.

<span>The difference between twice a number, x, and a smaller number, y, is 3
</span>2x - y = 3 so y = 2x - 3

<span>The sum of twice the number and the smaller number is –3:
</span>2x + y = -3 so y = -2x - 3

answer is

<span>a. y= 2x - 3 and y= -2x - 3</span>

Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept of the graph of the equation 7x + 25y = 12. Then graph the equation.
Vikki [24]

Answer: sorry, i couldn't graph it

but the equation was done.

7x+25y =12

                    rearrange it into y=mx+c

it becomes:

25y = -7x + 12

y= -0.28x+12

to find y intercept: x=0

so

y= -0.28*0+12

y=12

to find x intercept, y=0

so

0= -0.28x+12

0.28x = 12

x= 12/0.28

x= 42.857142857142857142857142857143‬

approximately = 43(whole number) or 42.9(one decimal place) or 42.86( 2 decimal places)

The ages of the 32 recruits in police academy are normally distributed with a mean of 27 with a standard deviation of 2. What is
aksik [14]
Since it's a sample size, we use x, as the mean and s= standard deviation
            _
Given:  x =27, s = 2 and total sample = 32.
Probability that a recruit is at least 31 years old?

Let's calculate the Z score :
              _
         X - x              31 - 27
Z = ----------- → Z = -------- → Z = 2 (now look up in the Z score table,
           s                      2


Area (Z=2) =0.9772 , but Z ≥ 2  (at least) , then :
Area (Z≥2) = Area (Z≤ - 2)  = 0.0228

P(≥31)= 0.0228

I need help with a quick question. Its posted below!
Art [367]
Home price is $245,000. There is no down payment mentioned. 
I understand 20/4 as amortized over 20 years and balloon payment after 4 years.

Total cost would be =  Balloon payment + Total monthly payment 

4 years x 12 months = 48 months
Balloon payment =       216,789.79 x 1 mo =   216,789.79
Total monthly payment = 1,727.11 x 47 mos =  81,174.17

Total cost = 216,789.79 + 81,174.17 = 297,963.96
