X+y=70
x=2y-5
x=larger number
y=smaller number
now plug in the value of x to only have one variable in the equation...
Way to solve for y:
(2y-5)+y=70
3y-5=70
add 5 on both sides...
3y=75
divide by 3 on both sides
y=25
1st way to solve for x:
now plug in y in the original equation...
x+25=70
subtract 25 on both sides...
x=45
2nd way to solve for x:
plug in y for the second equation...
x=25(2)-5
x=50-5
x=45
answer: the two numbers are 45 and 25.

A circular piece of fabric has a radius of 1.2 ft. The fabric sells for $5.40 per ft². What is the total cost of the circular pi
Kisachek [45]
The answer is $24.41

Step 1. Calculate the area of the <span>circular piece of fabric.
Step 2. Multiply the area of the piece by the price of </span><span>$5.40 per ft² to get the total cost.

Step 1.
The area (A) of the circle with radius r is:
A = </span>π r²
π = 3.14
r = 1.2 ft

A = 3.14 * (1.2 ft)²
A = 3.14 * 1.44 ft²
A = 4.52 ft²

Step 2.
Make a proportion
1 ft² costs $5.40
4.52 ft² cost x

1 ft² : $5.40 = 4.52 ft² : x
x = 4.52 ft² * $5.40 / 1 ft²
x = $24.41

The number A of tablet computers sold (in millions) can be modeled by the function A=4.5t2+43.5t+17 , where t represents the num
Rina8888 [55]
The problem indicates that A represents the number of tablet computers sold in millions. So, if 65 million were sold, we must substitute A = 65 to the equation. Then, we find for t.

65 = 4.5t² +43.5t + 17
Solving for t using a calculator,
t = 1 and -10.67

Let's take the positive root. So, t=1.
That means the year would be 1 year after 2010. <em>Therefore, the answer is 2011.</em>

If the domain of the square root function f(x) is x
soldier1979 [14.2K]
<span>This question, in my opinion, is not well stated. If f(x) = √x, as the question statement seems to say, then the domain is not x<7. Rather, the domain is x≥0. If f(x) is not the square root function, but say f(x) = √(7-x) then the domain is x≤7, and for this function then the appropriate answer is d), since the x-term inside the radical has a negative coefficient.</span>
