Answer:

9 & 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, check if, by adding them (sum), they equal 15:

9 + 6 = 15

Next, check the greater number, by multiplying it by 2:

9 x 2 = 18

Check the lesser number, by multiplying it by 3:

6 x 3 = 18

Note that they both have 18 as an answer.

9 & 6 are your answers.

Let w = 4. Enter >, <, or = to compare the expressions. 3w² + 1 10w + 8

Svetach [21]

Answer: ≥ without the line on the bottom.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming the expression you are talking about are

$3w^{2} +1$ and $10w+8$ .

If we were to replace w with 4 and calculate, we will find the answer:

$3*4^{2} +1=3*16+1=48+1=49$

$10*4+8=40+8=48$

Since the first expression, $3w^{2} +1$ , is bigger than the second expression, the correct symbol to use is ≥ without the line on the bottom.

Answer:

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + 13$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Use point-slope formula $y-y_1 = m (x-x_1)$ to find the slope-intercept form (or y = mx + b form) of the equation. m represents the slope, and $x_1$ and $y_1$ represent the x and y values of a point the line intersects. So, substitute $\frac{3}{2}$ for m, -4 for $x_1$ , and 7 for $y_1$ . Then, simplify and isolate y on the left side like so:
