X + y = 25
x is the smaller number.
y is the smaller number plus 9 (x + 9).

x + (x + 9) = 25
2x + 9 = 25
2x = 16
x = 8

8 + y = 25
y = 17

The numbers are 8 and 17.

X and y are the numbers
sum is 25 so
x+y=25

x is bigger than y by 9
x=y+9
subsitue y+9 for x

x+y=25
y+9+y=25
2y+9=25
minus 9 both sides
2y=16
divide by 2
y=8

sub back
x=y+9
x=8+9
x=17

the numbers are 8 and 17

What is the value of E?
kozerog [31]
Hello!

∠E and the angle measuring 119 degrees (we'll refer to this as ∠A) can be classified as supplementary angles. Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add to a sum of 180 degrees (a straight line). Therefore, we can conclude that sum of ∠E and ∠A is 180 degrees. We can use this information to create the following equation:

∠E + 119 = 180

Now subtract 119 from both sides of the equation:

∠E = 61

We have now proven that ∠E is equal to 61 degrees.

I hope this helps!

Determine the two ordered pair solutions of the equation y = 2x2 + 3x , given (0, ), and (-2, ).
Rudiy27

Answer:

We conclude that the two ordered pairs (0, 0) and (-2, 2) are the solutions of the equation y = 2x² + 3x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

y = 2x² + 3x

Substituting x = 0

y = 2(0)² + 3(0)

y = 0+0

y = 0

  • so when x = 0, y = 0

Thus, the ordered pair is: (0, 0)

Now, substituting x = -2

y = 2x² + 3x

y = 2(-2)² + 3(-2)

y = 8 - 6

y = 2

  • so when x = -2, y = 2

Thus, the ordered pair is: (-2, 2)

Therefore, we conclude that the two ordered pairs (0, 0) and (-2, 2) are the solutions of the equation y = 2x² + 3x.

If f(x) = 2x^3 - 14x^2 + 38x -26 and x-1 is a factor of f(x) find all of the zeros of f(x) algebraically.
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First confirm that x = 1 is one of the zeros.

f(1) = 2(1)^3 - 14(1)^2 + 38(1) - 26

f(1) = 2 - 14 + 38 - 26

f(1) = -12 + 38 = + 26

f(1) = 26 - 26

f(1) = 0

=========================

next perform a long division

x -1  || 2x^3 - 14x^2 + 38x - 26 || 2x^2 - 12x + 26

          2x^3 - 2x^2

          ===========

                    -12x^2 + 28x

                     -12x^2 +12x

                     ==========

                                  26x -26

                                  26x - 26

                                 ========

                                      0

Now you can factor 2x^2 - 12x + 26

                                 2(x^2 - 6x + 13)

The discriminate of the quadratic is negative. (36 - 4*1*13) = - 16

So you are going to get a complex result.

x = -(-6) +/- sqrt(-16)

     =============

                 2

x  = 3 +/- 2i

f(x) = 2*(x - 1)*(x - 3 + 2i)*(x - 3 - 2i)

The zeros are

1

3 +/- 2i

Jacob earned $80 babysitting and deposited the money into his savings account. The next week he spent $85 Lon video games. Use i
nexus9112 [7]
After one week, Jacob has earned $80 from babysitting, so his change is an increase of $80.  The next week, he spends $85, so he experiences a decrease of $85.  Over the two weeks, his overall change is $80-$85=-$5, or a decrease of $5.

Select the correct answer. Consider the following system of equations. Use this graph of the system to approximate its solution.
vesna_86 [32]

The approximate solution to the given system of equations, considering the graph, is given as follows:

D. \left(-\frac{13}{4}, \frac{5}{2}\right).

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

On a graph, the solution of a system of equations is given by the intersection between the curves. In this graph, the intersection of the two curves happen close to x = -3.25, y = 2.5, hence the solution is approximated by:

D. \left(-\frac{13}{4}, \frac{5}{2}\right)
