Answer:

y=4, x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

system:

x+y = 12, x=2y

convert to 1 variable, simplify:

2y+y=12

3y=12

y=4

x=2y=4*2=8

Answer:

The system of equations are:

x + y = 12

y = 2x  

Solution

x = 4

y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The sum of two numbers is 12. The first number, x, is twice the second number,y

Now we have to form the system of equations to find the solution.

The sum of two numbers is 12.

The first number = x

The second number y = 2x.

x + y = 12 ----(1)

y = 2x  --- (2)

These are the system of equations.

Now let's solve them.

Now plug in y = 2x in the first equation.

x + 2x = 12

Simplifying the like terms, we get

3x = 12

Dividing both sides by 3, we get

x = 4

To find the value of y, that is the second term, we need to plug in x = 4 in the second equation, we get

y = 2*4 = 8

So the first number is 4 and the second number is 8.

What is the slope of the line?
spin [16.1K]

Answer: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is \frac{rise}{run} (rise over run)

This means for every point you must go up/down to get your next point you divide it by every point you go right/left.

From one point to the next it goes up 2 (rise) and right 1 (run)

\frac{2}{1} = 2 so that is your slope

A functionf(x) is graphed on the coordinate plane.
ollegr [7]

Answer:

y = -1/2x +1

Step-by-step explanation:

The y intercept is 1 (this is where it crosses the y intercept)

(0,1) and (2,0) are two points on the line

The slope is given by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (0-1)/(2-0)

   = -1/2

The slope is -1/2

The slope intercept form is y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -1/2x +1

If d(x) = x2 - 7x - 7, find d(x - 1).​
satela [25.4K]

Answer: x^2-9x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-7x-7 d(x-1)

(you would just replace x to (x-1)

(x-1)^2-7(x-1)-7

(solve by square rooting (x-1)(x-1) then foil)

x^2-9x+1
