Larger is x
the other is called y
sum of squares is 394
x^2+y^2=394
one is 2 less that other
x>y so
y+2=x
subsitute y+2 for x

(y+2)^2+y^2=394
expand
y^2+4y+4+y^2=394
add like terms
2y^2+4y+4=394
divideboth sides by 2
y^2+2y+2=197
subtract 197 from both sides
y^2+2y-195=0
factor
(y+15)(y-13)=0
set each to zero
y+15=0
y=-15
impossible since it is stated that they are positive so get rid of this solution
y-13=0
y=13

find other
y+2=x
13+2=x
15=x


numbers are 13 and 15

In the first game of the year, the modified basketball team made 63.5% of their foul shot free throws. Matthew made all 6 of his
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
So 6 shots equal 25% of the teams total shots(x)
So 6= 0.24(x)
X = 6/0.25
X= 24

If the team made 62. 5% of their shots then they missed 100% - 6.25% = 37.5 %
37.5 % of 24 = 24(0.375) = 9

A nature center offers 2 guided walks. The morning walk is two-third mile. The evening walk is three-sixths mile. Which walk is
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Evening walk is shorter.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a nature center offers 2 guided walks. The morning walk is two-third mile. The evening walk is three-sixths mile. We are asked to find the shorter walk.

Let us compare both fractions by making the same denominator.

\text{Two-thirds}=\frac{2}{3}

\text{Two-thirds}=\frac{2\times2}{3\times2}

\text{Two-thirds}=\frac{4}{6}

\text{Three-sixth}=\frac{3}{6}

Upon making common denominator, we can see that two-thirds are equal to four sixths.

Since three-sixths is less than four-sixths, therefore, evening walk is shorter.

We will draw two rectangles, one with 6 sub-parts and other with three sub-parts.

We will shade 2 parts out of 3 sub-parts to represent 2/3 and shade 3 parts out of 6 sub-parts to represent 3/6.

Then we will further divide three sub-parts into 6 sub-parts as shown in the diagram that will represent 4/6.

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

A and B are functions

Step-by-step explanation:

for A, none of the x's repeat which makes it a FUNCTION

for B, when it starts with x^2, it will always be a FUNCTION (its a quadratic)

for C, 10 repeats for the x so it is NOT A FUNCTION
