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>

Joseph has a credit card with his bank but he must pay off completely each month for each day that His payment is late the bank
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

3%

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the difference between the total payment and what the payment would have been prior to to the 20 days late fee. Divide that number by the amount of days overdue (20) to find the cost of each day overdue. Divide that number of what each day overdue is by the cost of the bill prior to overdue fees. Move the decimal two places to the right.

What are the solutions to the nonlinear system of equations below?
Sonbull [250]
Substitute y=4x to the second equation:

x^2 + (4x)^2 = 17
x^2 + 16x^2 = 17
17x^2 = 17
x^2 = 17/17
x^2 = 1
x = 1 and -1

When x=1, y=4(1) = 4
When x=-1, y=4(-1) = -4

Thus the solutions would be (1,4) and (-1,-4). That would correspond to D. and A.

Solve for x. <br> 4- (2x + 4)=5<br><br> A. x = -10<br> B. x = 6<br> C. x = 3/2<br> D. x = -5/2
horsena [70]

Answer:

x = (-5/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

4 - (2x + 4) = 5

-4 from both sides

- (2x + 4) = 1

divide both sides by -1

2x + 4 = -1

-4 from both sides

2x = -5

divide both sides by 2

x = (-5/2)
