Let's say x to the first number and y to the second one.
We add them : x+y=9
Then we substract them : x-y=3
Now we add the equations: 

(x+y)+(x-y)=9+3\\ x+x+y-y=12\\ 2x=12\\ \\ x=\frac { 12 }{ 2 } \\ \\ x=6

and finally rewrite the equation:

6+y=9\\ y=9-6\\ y=3\\ \\ x=6\quad and\quad y=3

X, y - the numbers

The sum of the two numbers is 9.
x+y=9

If one number is subtracted from the other, the result is 3.
x-y=3

Solve the system of equations:
x+y=9 \\
\underline{x-y=3} \\
x+x=9+3 \\
2x=12 \ \ \ |\div 2 \\
x=6 \\ \\
x+y=9 \\
6+y=9 \ \ \ |-6 \\
y=3

The numbers are 6 and 3.

Answer:

A. 15, 20, and 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that 3-4-5 is a pythagorean triple via following:

\sqrt{ (3^2 + 4^2 )} = 5^2

Dividing 15, 20, and 25 by 5 nets you the pythagorean triple 3-4-5.

44 is equal to 8 times a number minus 4. what is the number?
postnew [5]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a number" = x

44 = 8x - 4

Simplify. Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First add 4 to both sides:

44 (+4) = 8x - 4 (+4)

44 + 4 = 8x

48 = 8x

Isolate the variable, x. Divide 8 from both sides:

(48)/8 = (8x)/8

x = 48/8

x = 6

6 is your answer.

A taxi charges a base fee plus $0.75/km.
Naily [24]

a) The rate of change in this situation is 0.75 dollars/km

b) The equation for the cost of hiring a taxi in terms of length of the

trip is y = 0.75 x + b

c) The initial value represents in this situation is $1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • A taxi charges a base fee plus $0.75/km.
  • A 10-km trip costs $8.70

∵ A rate of change is a rate that describes how one quantity

  changes in relation to another quantity

∵ The unit cost of a taxi is 0.75 dollars for each 1 kilometer

∴ The rate of change = 0.75 dollars/km

a) The rate of change in this situation is 0.75 dollars/km

Assume that the cost of hiring a taxi is $y for length of a trip x km

and a base fee of $b

∵ The length of the trip = x km

∵ The cost per km = $0.75

∵ The base fee = $b

∵ The cost of hiring a taxi = $y

- Write an equation for the the cost of hiring a taxi

∴ y = 0.75 x + b

b) The equation for the cost of hiring a taxi in terms of length

of the trip is y = 0.75 x + b

∵ The length of the trip is 10 km

∴ x = 10

∵ The cost of the hiring a taxi is $8.70

∴ y = 8.70

- Substitute these values in the equation of part (b)

∵ y = 0.75 x + b

∴ 8.70 = 0.75(10) + b

∴ 8.70 = 7.5 + b

- Subtract 7.5 from both sides

∴ 1.2 = b

∵ b is the base fee

∴ b is the initial value

∴ The initial value = $1.2

c) The initial value represents in this situation is $1.2
