Hey there!!

Looking at the question, we know that there are two numbers.

  • Let's take the first number or the larger number as 'x'
  • Let's take the second number or the smaller number as 'y'.

As stated:

  1. The sum of two numbers, x and y is 24
  2. The difference of the greater and smaller number is 18.

Taking equations:

... x+y=24 --- (1)

... x-y=18 --- (2)

Now, let's add both the equations.

... 2x=42

... x=42/2

...x=21

<em>Hence, the larger number is 21. </em>

Based off this, we will know that the smaller number is 3

<em>Hence, the smaller number is 3</em>

<em>Hope my answer helps!</em>

The greater number is 21, this is correct since 21 + 3 is 24, and 21 - 3 is 18. Thus, it fulfills all necessary requirements

Which number line represents the solution to the inequality x - 3 &gt; 2
Ivahew [28]

Answer: x > 5

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for <em>x</em> in this inequality, our goal is the same as it would be if this were an equation, to get x by itself on one side.

Since 3 is being subtracted from x, we add 3 to

both sides of the inequality to get x > 5.

When graphing x > 5, we have an open circle on 5 and the

open circle tells us that 5 is not part of our answer.

Then we draw an arrow going to the right to represent

all possible solutions to this inequality, any number greater than 5.

BRAINLY AND POINTS FOR STEP BY STEP<br> b-4z =a for b<br> ____<br> 5
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Dividing both sides of 5x = 4 by 5 yields x = 4 _. 5 . The value of x can now be ... tuting −1 for a into the equation b = –a + 3 gives b = −(−1) + 3, or b = 4. ... ___. 82 − (2i)2 . Since i2 = −1, this can be simplified to 24 − 6i − 40i − 10. __.

hope this helps also Brainliest please:)

Given that f(x) = x + 3<br> a) Find f(2)
Nataly_w [17]

{ \qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}}

Here we go ~

In the above question, it is given that :

\qquad \sf  \boxed{ \sf f(x) =  \frac{x + 3}{2} }

A.) Find f(2) :

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: f(2) =  \dfrac{2 + 3}{2}

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: f(2) =  \dfrac{5}{2}

or

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: f(2) = 0.5

B.) Find { \sf {f}^{-1}(x) } :

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: let \: y = f (x)

so, we can write it as :

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: y =  \dfrac{x + 3}{2}

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 2y = x + 3

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: x = 2y - 3

Now, put x = { \sf {f}^{-1}(x) }, and y = x and we will get our required inverse function ~

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: f {}^{ - 1}(x) = 2x- 3

C.) Find { \sf {f}^{-1}(12) } :

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: f {}^{ - 1}(12) = 2(12)- 3

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: f {}^{ - 1}(12) = 36- 3

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: f {}^{ - 1}(12) = 33
