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>

A scale model of a tower is 24 inches tall and 18 inches wide. If the height of the actual tower is 60 feet, what is its width?
alex41 [277]

Answer:

45 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the width of the model, we need to find the scale of the model to the actual tower.

Since we know the height of both towers, we can use that as the basis.

24 inches : 60 feet

12 inches : 30 feet

6 inches : 15 feet

So the width of the tower is 18 inches wide.

18 inches will then be equal to 12 + 7 inches : 30 + 15 feet

18 inches : 45 feet

A recent survey determined the IQ score of a random selection of residents of Alaska. The accompanying relative frequency distri
ycow [4]

Answer:

The class width is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

In a frequency or a relative frequency distribution the class width is calculated as the difference between the lower or upper class limits of consecutive classes. A point to note is that all the categories or classes usually have the same class width.

We use the first two classes to calculate the class width by using their respective upper limits;

Class width = 89 - 69

Class width = 20

Solve for x:
x^9 = n x

Subtract n x from both sides:
x^9 - n x = 0

Factor x and constant terms from the left hand side:
-x (n - x^8) = 0

Multiply both sides by -1:
x (n - x^8) = 0

Split into two equations:
x = 0 or n - x^8 = 0

Subtract n from both sides:
x = 0 or -x^8 = -n

Multiply both sides by -1:
x = 0 or x^8 = n

Taking 8^th roots gives n^(1/8) times the 8^th roots of unity:
Answer: x = 0 or x = -n^(1/8) or x = -i n^(1/8) or x = i n^(1/8) or x = n^(1/8) or x = -(-1)^(1/4) n^(1/8) or x = (-1)^(1/4) n^(1/8) or x = -(-1)^(3/4) n^(1/8) or x = (-1)^(3/4) n^(1/8)
