D = r* t
(1/40)= r * (1/2)
To solve multiply both sides by the reciprocal of (1/2) which is 2.
2(1/40) = r * (1/2)(2/1)
2/40 = r
1/20 mph = r

The sum of 2 numbers is 84 if one number is 4.less than the other find the numbers

artcher [175]

Answer:

one number= x = 44

the other number= (x-4)= 40

Step-by-step explanation:

one number= x

the other number= (x-4)

x + (x-4) = 84

2x= 84+4

2x= 88

x= 88/2= 44

one number= x = 44

the other number= (x-4)= 40

$(\stackrel{x_1}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{2}-\stackrel{y1}{(-1)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{-4}-\underset{x_1}{(-6)}}} \implies \cfrac{2 +1}{-4 +6} \implies \cfrac{ 3 }{ 2 }$

$\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-1)}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{3}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-6)}) \implies {\large \begin{array}{llll} y +1= \cfrac{3}{2} (x +6) \end{array}}$
