Let the larger number = y and the smaller number = x.

 

The largest number is 10 less than twice the smaller number.  Remember that less than means subtract the 10 from the other amount while twice means multiply by two.  Therefore,

 

y = 2x - 10

 

The sum of the two numbers is 38.  Remember sum means add the two numbers to get their result.  Therefore,

 

x + y = 38

 

Since y = 2x - 10, we rewrite the lower equation as:

 

x + (2x - 10) = 38

 

Solving:

 

3x - 10 = 38

3x = 48

x = 16

 

The lesser number is 16 and the greater number is 2(16) - 10 or 22.

What is the domain of the square root function graphed below?
melisa1 [442]
You can see that the function is graphed for every number x that is greater than or equal to zero.

So we write that the domain is x \leq 0.

Teh slope between two points is calculated by finding the change in y-values and dividing by the change in x-values. for example
Nimfa-mama [501]
Hi there!

The change of y-values is
- 15 - 22 = - 37
The change of x-values is
7 - - 8 = 7 + 8 = 15

Therefore, the slope of this line is
\frac{ - 37}{15}  =  - 2 \frac{7}{15}
