2(x+y)=24
2x=y

Use substitution. If y=2x, than we can substitute 2x for it in the other equation, because x and y equal the same things in both equations. 

So using that we get 2(x+2x)=24

SIMPLIFY
2(3x)=24

DISTRIBUTE
6x=24. 

DIVIDE: x=4.

If we substitute x into the original equations we get x=4 and y=8. Those are your two numbers. 

Have a nice day! :)

Given: y = 3x - 4.<br><br> For what value of x does y equal zero?
Greeley [361]
X = 4/3 because set y=0.
so 0=3x-4. add 4 to both sides so
4=3x. divide both sides by. 3 and you get x=4/3.

Kaylis [27]

Answer: 95% confidence interval = 20,000 ± 2.12\times\frac{1500}{\sqrt{17} }

( 19228.736 , 20771.263 ) OR ( 19229 , 20771 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sample size(n) = 17

Sample mean = 20000

Sample standard deviation = 1,500

5% confidence

∴ \frac{\alpha}{2} = 0.025

Degree of freedom (d_{f}) = n-1 = 16

∵ Critical value at ( 0.025 , 16 ) = 2.12

∴ 95% confidence interval = mean ± Z_{c}\times\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }

Critical value  at 95% confidence interval = 20,000 ± 2.12\times\frac{1500}{\sqrt{17} }

( 19228.736 , 20771.263 ) OR ( 19229 , 20771 )

A rectangle or exercise mat has a perimeter of 48 feet the length of the mat Is twice The lift right and solve any questions to
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The equation to determine the length is 4w+2w=48.

The Length of the exercise mat is 16 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Perimeter of Rectangular mat = 48\ ft

Let the length of the mat be denoted by 'l'

And width be denoted by 'w'.

Also Given:

The length of the mat is twice the width of the mat.

So we can say that;

l=2w  ⇒ equation 1

Now we know that;

Perimeter of Rectangle is equal to twice the sum of length and width.

framing in equation form we get;

2(l+w)=48 ⇒ equation 2

Now Substituting equation 1 in equation 2 we get;

2(2w+w)=48

Applying Distributive property we get;

2\times2w+2\times w=48\\\\4w+2w=48

Hence, The equation to determine the length is 4w+2w=48.

On Solving the above equation we get;

4w+2w=48\\\\6w=48

Dividing both side by 6 we get;

\frac{6w}{6}=\frac{48}{6}\\\\w=8\ ft

Now Substituting the value of 'w' in equation 1 we get;

l=2w=2\times8=16\ ft

Hence The Length of the exercise mat is 16 feet.
