Answer: The numbers are: <u>x = 34, y = 12</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say the numbers are x and y. The two equations are:

x+y=46

x= 3y-2

Next you use substitution for x in the first equation which brings you to

3y-2 + y = 46 which simplyfies to:

4y - 2 = 46

4y = 48

48 / 4 = 12

y = 12

Then you plug back y=12 in either of the equation to solve for x:

x = 3y - 2

x = 3(12) - 2   = 36 - 2 = 34

x = 34, y = 12

As a bicycle salesperson, Norman earns a fixed salary of $20 per week plus $6 per bicycle for the first 6 bicycles he sells, $12
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

A. I only

I. y>2x

Step-by-step explanation:

I. y>2x

He sold x bicycles last week and y bicycles this week,  this week, he earned more than twice as much as he did last week. Therefore more than twice means greater than 2 x or

y>2x

II. y>x This is not true because y could be greater than x and less than twice of x (2x)

III. y>3 This is also not true because the least he would be earning would be $ 20 and he could get earn greater than 3 and less than $ 20 which would again be contradictory to the given statement

I need help on finding the area of a parallelogram
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

1. 540 sq. ft.   2. 7,200 sq. m.   3. 276 sq. yd.   4. 6,000 sq. mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

You find the area of a parallelogram by doing the same as you would a rectangle, multiplying length by width. (If you imagine slicing off the triangle shape on the end of all of these and putting it on the other side, it will always make a rectangle.)
