Let
x--------->  the larger number
y---------> the smaller number

we know that
x+y=148------> equation 1
x=3y-2------> equation 2

substitute 2 in 1
[3y-2]+y=148--------> 4y=150---------> y=150/4------> y=37.5
x=3y-2----> x=3*37.5-2-----> x=110.5

the answer is
the larger number is 110.5
the smaller number is 37.5

If c is a real number and if 1 + i is a solution of the equation x^2 -2x + c = 0, what is the value of c?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

c = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x = 1 + i into the equation

(1 + i)² - 2(1 + i) + c = 0 ← distribute left side

1 + 2i + i² - 2 - 2i + c = 0 ( note that i² = - 1 )

1 + 2i - 1 - 2 - 2i + c = 0 ← collect like terms on left

- 2 + c = 0 ( add 2 to both sides )

c = 2

Find the slope <br><br> Use this form for example:y=Mx+b
enot [183]

Answer:

Line: y = Mx + b, passes (0, 1) => M*0 + b = 1 => b = 1

Line: y = Mx + 1, pass (2, 4) => 2M + 1 = 4 => M =3/2

=> Line: y = (3/2)x + 1

Hope this helps!

Write the ordered pair for the point S.
beks73 [17]

Given:

The location of point S on a coordinate plane.

To find:

The ordered pair for the point S.

Solution:

A point is defined as (x,y), where, |x| is the distance between the point and y-axis, and |y| be the distance between the point and x-axis. Signs of coordinates depend on the quadrant.

From the given graph it is clear that,

Distance between S and y-axis = 3.5

Distance between S and x-axis = 5.5

Point S lies in 3rd quadrant, it means x- and y-coordinates are negative.

Therefore, the ordered pair of point S is (-3.5,-5.5).
