Let the numbers be x and y; x being the larger number and y being the smaller.
Given,
x + y = 2* (x - y)
x + y = 2x - 2y
x = 3y
Also given,
x = 6 + 2y
3y = 6 + 2y
--- y = 6
Thus, x = 3y = 3*6 = 18.
Therefore, the numbers are 18 and 6.
Answer: 87.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply 12.25 times 3 because the student bought 3 shirts
Then multiply 25.50 times 2 because the student bought two pairs of pants
Then add up both your multiplication together and you will get 87.75
Answer: y= 1/4 x + 500
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is the difference in y-values divided by difference in x-values plus the starting constant value (500 on the graph)
700 - 600 is the difference in y-values = 100
800 - 400 is the difference in x-values = 400
100/400 = 1/4
y = x/4 +500
The fundamental theorem of algebra states that a polynomial with degree n has at most n solutions. The "at most" depends on the fact that the solutions might not all be real number.
In fact, if you use complex number, then a polynomial with degree n has exactly n roots.
So, in particular, a third-degree polynomial can have at most 3 roots.
In fact, in general, if the polynomial
has solutions
, then you can factor it as

So, a third-degree polynomial can't have 4 (or more) solutions, because otherwise you could write it as

But this is a fourth-degree polynomial.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let
y --->Mala's age
x---> sister's age
we know that
---> equation A
so
The sum of ages of the sisters is

substitute equation A in the expression of the sum of ages

simplify
