The difference of two numbers is 15. Five times the smaller is the same as 9 less than twice the larger. Find the numbers

Mathematics

Usimov [2.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

x= -13

y= -28

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the two numbers, write a system of equations with x as one number and y as another:

x-y=15

5x=2y-9

Use substitution to substitute one equation into another. Then solve for the variable.

x=15+y into 5x=2y-9

becomes

5(15+y) = 2y-9

75+5y = 2y- 9

75+3y= -9

3y = -84

y= -28

To find x, substitute y= -28 into one equation.

x - (-28) = 15

x+28 =15

x = 15-28

x=-13

Work out<br> ³√−64<br> Please help
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Cube Root is an odd number so your answer will still be negative in the end. 4x4x4= 64 so cube root 64 will be -4

LOTS OF POINTS!?!?!?Write a linear function f with the values f(5)=−1 and f(0)=−1.<br> f(x)=
Brut [27]

Answer:

The euation of the linear function is:

  • y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

As the function has the values

  • at x = 5, f(5) = -1
  • at x = 0, f(0) = -1

Thus, the two points are:

  • (5, -1)
  • (0, -1)

Finding the slope between (5, -1) and (0, -1)

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(5,\:-1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(0,\:-1\right)

m=\frac{-1-\left(-1\right)}{0-5}

m=0

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation is

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

We also know that the y-intercept can be computed by setting x=0 and finding the corresponding value of y.

so at x = 0, y = -1

Thus, the y-intercept 'b' = -1

Now, substituting m = 0 and b = -1 in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

y = 0x + -1

y = -1

Therefore, the euation of the linear function is:

  • y = -1

Jamal is planning the seating for the new auditorium. He drew 15 seats for the first row, and is planning on each following row
Fofino [41]
If he wants to have 3 seats more in each row it will go from 18 to 21 to 24 etc. In this case the equation will be y=3x+12
