This question is asking for the value of two numbers, which we can label as:

#1 = x
(Any value we do not know can be represented with a variable)
#2 = 3x + 2
("2 more" means + 2, and "3 times" means multiply by 3. The "another" is the variable we talked about before. Combining everything we have 3x + 2).

The last piece of information we are given is that the sum of the two numbers is 22. The word sum indicates that we need to add the two numbers, and when they added they will equal the integer 22.
(x) + (3x + 2) = 22
x + 3x + 2 = 22
Combine like terms
4x + 2 = 22
Subtract 2 from both sides
4x = 20
Divide 4 from both sides
x = 5

This sole value of "x" already gives us the value of the first number. Since our second number is "3x + 2", all we have to do is plug in the value of x into the expression.

3x + 2 = 3(5) + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17
The second number is 17.

Final Answer: The two numbers are 5 and 17.
(If you want to check, add the two numbers and make sure they add up to 22 and multiply 5 by 3 and add 2.)

Which statement is true regarding the graphed functions?

EastWind [94]

Answer:

f(0) = g(0)

Step-by-step explanation:

if a function h(x) passes through [a,b] then it can be said that h(a)=b.

given that, g(x) passes through (-2,0) and (0,4)

so, g(-2)=0, g(0)=4.

f(x) passes through (0,4) and (2,0)

so, f(2)=0, f(0)=4.

therefore, f(0)=g(0)=4.

so, first option is correct.

Consider the equation 2(ax+3)=4x−3(4x+8). For what value of a is there no solution to the equation?

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

the value of $a$ such that there is no solution to the equation is $a = -4$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let first simplify the expression presented on statement. The equation has no solution if and only if $a$ is eliminated in the process and an absurd is the result (i.e. $0 = 7$ ).

$2\cdot (a\cdot x + 3) = 4\cdot x -3\cdot (4\cdot x + 8)$

$2\cdot a\cdot x +6 = 4\cdot x -12\cdot x -24$

$2\cdot a \cdot x+6=-8\cdot x-24$

$2\cdot a\cdot x +8\cdot x = -30$

$2\cdot (a+4)\cdot x = -30$

$(a+4)\cdot x = -15$

To obtain an absurd, we need that $a+4 = 0$ . Hence, the value of $a$ such that there is no solution to the equation is:

$a = -4$

Let prove the certainty of the result. We find that an absurd exist: ( $a = -4$ )

$0 = -15$

How do you solve a system of linear equations by graphing?

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

9514 1404 393

Explanation:

This is a self-answering question: you solve it by graphing the equations.

<em>The solution is where the lines intersect</em>. The point of intersection of the lines is the point that satisfies all the equations for the lines, hence is a solution to the system. If they do not intersect, there are no solutions. If the lines are coincident, there are an infinite number of solutions.

The equations can be graphed by any of a number of methods. (My favorite is to let a graphing calculator do it.) The method of choice depends on the coefficients and the form the equations are given in. Methods of graphing are a topic for a more lengthy discussion.
