Answer:

The two numbers are .8*160=128 and .85*240=204

Step-by-step explanation:

First sentence:                 x+y=400

Second sentence           .8x+.85y=400-68

Solve y in the first sentence:  y=400-x

Plug first into second:     .8x+.85(400-x)=332

Distribute:                        .8x+.85(400)-.85x=332

Combine like terms:        -.05x+.85(400)=332

Simplify(multiply):              -.05x+      340=332

Subtract 340 on both sides:    -.05x       =332-340

Simplify(subtract):                     -.05x        =-8

Divide both sides by -.05:              x        =-8/-.05

Simplify (division):                           x        = 160

So y=400-x=400-160=240

Answer:

128 and 204. your welcome.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the first number

Let y = the second number

So we can set up two equations:

x+y = 400

.8x + .85y = 400-68

Use substitution:

y = 400 - x

.8x + (.85)*(400-x) = 332

.8x + 340 -.85x = 332

8 = .05x

x = 160

So that makes y = 240

We want the decreased values so:

160*.8 = 128

240*.85 = 204

So the answers are 128 and 204

9. If f(x)=-2x^2+4x-6, <br> then f(2)=
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

f(2) = -6

General Formulas and Concepts:

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Substitution and Evaluation

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

f(x) = -2x² + 4x - 6

f(2) is x = 2

<u>Step 2: Solve</u>

  1. Substitute:                          f(2) = -2(2)² + 4(2) - 6
  2. Exponents:                         f(2) = -2(4) + 4(2) - 6
  3. Multiply:                              f(2) = -8 + 8 - 6
  4. Add:                                    f(2) = -6

Use the diagram to answer the question
koban [17]

Answer:

m\angle EFG=52^{o}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that line m is parallel to line p, m\angle HEF=39^{o} and m\angle IGF=13^{o}.

Since line m is parallel to line p and EJ is a transversal, so measure of angle EJG will be 39 degrees as angle EJG is alternate interior angle of angle HEF. Both angles are inside parallel lines m and p and on opposite side of transversal EJ.

We can see that angle EFG is exterior angle of triangle GFJ. Since the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle equals to the sum of the opposite interior angles.

We can see that angle IGF and angle EJG are opposite interior angles of angle EFG.

m\angle EFG=m\angle IGF+m\angle EJG

Upon substituting our given values we will get,

m\angle EFG=13^{o}+39^{o}

m\angle EFG=52^{o}

Therefore, measure of angle EFG is 52 degrees.
