One number is nine less than a second number. Three times the first is 12 more than 4 times the second. Find the numbers.

Mathematics

FinnZ [79.3K]4 years ago
3 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be <em>x</em>

Let the second number be <em>y</em>

<em>x</em> = y - 9

3x = 4y + 12

3x - 4y = 12

3(y - 9) - 4y = 12

3y -4y - 27 = 12

-y = 12 + 27

-y = 39

y = -39

x = y - 9

x = -39 - 9 = -48

Alright, so we know that there are 7 days a week with 24 hours per day.

24x7= 168 hours a week.

Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: P% * X = Y.

Let's take the 40% that is Sleep and use it in the percentage formula with the 168 hours.

40%x168= roughly 67 hours.

Hope this helped!

The first two steps in determining the solution set of the system of equations, y = -x2 + 4x + 12 and y=-3x + 24, algebraically
madreJ [45]

Answer:

(3, 15) and (4, 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 - 7x+12 = 0 factors to (x - 4)(x - 3) = 0, and so x:  {3, 4}.

Since y= -3x + 24, y = 15 when x = 3 and y = 12 when x = 4.  The solutions are thus (3, 15) and (4, 12).  This is the third answer choice.
