Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to set up two equations.

Let x equal the larger number.
Let y equal the smaller number.

x - y = 9
x = 2y - 6

Those are our two equations ^.

Since we know that x is equal to 2y - 6, we can plug the value of x into the equation x - y = 9 and find y.

x - y = 9
x = 2y - 6

2y - 6 - y = 9
2y - y - 6 = 9
y - 6 = 9
y = 9 + 6
y = 15

Now, we do the same to the value of y - plug it into the equation - and solve for x:

y = 15
x - y = 9
x - 15 = 9
x = 9 + 15
x = 24

So, the numbers are 24 and 15.

Hope this helps!

Foram prescritos 500mg de dipirona para uma criança com febre.Na unidade tem disponivel ampola de 1g/2ml.Quantos g vão ser admin
Valentin [98]

De acordo com a disponibilidade da unidade, há apenas a seguinte dosagem: 1g/2mL - ou seja, uma grama de dipirona a cada 2mL

O enunciado está meio mal formulado, pois é dito que foram prescritos 500mg de dipirona e é essa quantidade de farmaco que a criança tem que tomar. Deseja-se saber quantos mL deverao ser administrados.

Fazendo a classica regra de 3, podemos chegar no volume desejado:

(atentar que 500mg = 0,5g)

     g               mL

     1    ---------   2

    0,5  ---------  X    

1 . X = 0,5 . 2

<h3>X = 1mL</h3>

Answer:

B] f(n) = 6(3)n − 1; f(5) = 486

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to identify which type of relation the points have. From the graph you can tell that it's an exponential growth. The x values change in the same amount every time, in this case by 1.

So if the relation is exponential, if we divide the y coordinates you should get the same result every time.

18 / 6 = 3

54 / 18 = 3

162 / 54 = 3

So the y value increases 3 times. That means that the next value should be 162*3 = 486.
