Hey,

So if we have the smaller number as X then then the second number is twice X plus 66 right?
In algebraic form we can right this as x and 2X+66. OK?( 2 X means 2 multiplied by X)
So we know that the first number plus the second number 3636 right?
That means X(the smaller number) +2X+66 is 3636.
No we have a equation to solve.
X+2X+66=3636.
We can add 2X and the X together to get 3X right?
So we have 3X+66=3636.
And we want to get rid of the 66 OK?
So we have to minus the 66 form that side.Because we have minused 66 from one side we must minus 66 from the other side too.

So we now have 3X+66-66=3636-66.
And we we take away the 66 we are left with:
3X=3570.

Now we know that three times the number is 3570 right?
All we need to do know is divide 3570/3 and we get 1190.

Now we knew that the smaller number is 1190 right?
So the other number must be twice it and plus 66 which is 2446.

We can also check to get the answer of 3636

Hope this helps

(2x+66)+x=3636
2x+x+66=3636
3x+66=3636
3x=3636-66
3x=3570÷3
x=1190
2(1190)+66=2446
the two numbers are 1190 and 2446

Suppose that $9500 is placed in an account that pays 8% interest compounded each year.

Blababa [14]

$\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$9500\\ r=rate\to 8\%\to \frac{8}{100}\dotfill &0.08\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{each year, thus once} \end{array}\dotfill &1\\ t=years\dotfill &1 \end{cases}$

$\bf A=9500\left(1+\frac{0.08}{1}\right)^{1\cdot 1}\implies A=9500(1.08)\implies \boxed{A=10260} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{after 2 years, t = 2}}{A=9500\left(1+\frac{0.08}{1}\right)^{1\cdot 2}}\implies A=9500(1.08)^2\implies \boxed{A=11080.8}$

If Anna have 8000 and gave jim 300 and bought some items a shoes for 290 a suit for 400 and a phone for 2000

vovangra [49]

Answer: Assuming the unit is dollars, the answer would be $5,010.

Explanation:

Step 1: 8000-300 is 7700.

Step 2: 7700-290 is 7410

Step 3: 7410-400 is 7010

Step 4: 7010-2000 is 5010

So, the answer is Anna has $5,010 dollars left after giving Jim $300, buying shoes for $290, a suit for $400 and spending $2,000 dollars on a new phone.

If f(x) =7x+5/3-x, then show that fof power -1(x) is an identity function

Irina-Kira [14]

If f(X)= 7x +5/3 - x =6x +5/3

y= 6x +5/3

6x= y-5/3

f^-1(y)=x=(y-5/3)/6

So we can write

f(f^-1(y))= f((y-5/3)/6) = 6 (y-5/3)/6 +5/3= y-5/3+5/3= y

The same result can be obtained for f^-1(f(x))=x

If the function is f(x)= 7x +5/(3-x) then it is not invertible since it is not injective (pictures)

Examine the linear table to find the slope, y-intercept, and write the equation for this linear relationship . NEED HELP PLEASE

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

$y = \frac{4}{3} x + 17$

Step-by-step explanation:

The table shows a set of x and y values, thus showing a set of points we can use to find the equation.

1) First, find the slope by using two points and substituting their x and y values into the slope formula, $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ . I chose (-3, 13) and (0,17), but any two points from the table will work. Use them for the formula like so:

$\frac{(17)-(13)}{(0)-(-3)} \\= \frac{17-13}{0+3} \\= \frac{4}{3}$

Thus, the slope is $\frac{4}{3}$ .

2) Next, identify the y-intercept. The y-intercept is where the line hits the y-axis. All points on the y-axis have a x value of 0. Thus, (0,17) must be the y-intercept of the line.

3) Finally, write an equation in slope-intercept form, or $y = mx + b$ format. Substitute the $m$ and $b$ for real values.

The $m$ represents the slope of the equation, so substitute it for $\frac{4}{3}$ . The $b$ represents the y-value of the y-intercept, so substitute it for 17. This will give the following answer and equation:

$y = \frac{4}{3} x + 17$
