Let x and y represent the larger and smaller numbers, respectively. The problem conditions give rise to two equations:
  x + y = 7
  5x +4y = 47

You can use the first equation to write an expression for y, then substitute that into the second equation.
  y = 7 - x
  5x +4(7 -x) = 47 . . . . substitute for y
  x + 28 = 47 . . . . . . .. simplify
  x = 19 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 28

Using our expression for y, we have
  y = 7 -19 = -12

The larger number is 19.
The smaller number is -12.

Solve for a r=x(a+b)<br><br><br> Solve for x x/2=-7
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

a = (r/x) -b

x = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

r=x(a+b)

Divide each side by x

r/x = a+b

Subtract b

r/x  -b = a

x/2=-7

Multiply each side by 2

x/2*2 = -7*2

x = -14

The quadratic function below has an axis of symmetry through x = -4; a vertex at (-4, -9) and zeroes at x = -7 and x = 0.
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here (h, k) = (- 4, - 9), thus

y = a(x + 4)² - 9

To find a substitute the coordinates of the zero (- 7, 0) into the equation.

0 = a(- 7 + 4)² - 9, that is

0 = 9a - 9 ( add 9 to both sides )

9a = 9 ( divide both sides by 9 )

a = 1, thus

y = (x + 4)² - 9 ← expand factor using FOIL

y = x² + 8x + 16 - 9

y = x² + 8x + 7
