Answer:
first number= 19/5
second number= 2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
first number= a
second number= b
a+3b=5 equation 1
b+2a=8 equation 2
using equation 2 we have
b=8-2a
using equation 1 we have
a+3(8-2a)=5
a+24-6a=5
24-5=6a-a
19=5a
a=19/5 = first number
so using b=8-2a
we have
b=8-2(19/5)
b=8-(38/5)
b=2/5 = second number

Y - 5x = 10 can be written in the slope-intercept form as
y = 5x + 10
The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m = slope, and b = y-intercept.
In this case, the 5 is the slope.
Parallel lines have equal slopes, so the line we need to find also has a slope of 5. Its equation is
y = 5x + b
We need to find what b is.
We can use the given point, (3, 10), in for x and y and solve for b.
10 = 5 * 3 + b
10 = 15 + b
-5 = b
Now that we know that b = -5, we replace b with -5 to get our equation
y = 5x - 5
One major problem is that you're not keeping the units like I showed you.
I think you have everything there, except that I have no idea what that '168'
is all about.
Here it is with the units:
(1million seconds / 1)x(1min/60sec)x(1hr/60min)x(1 day/24hr)x(1 yr/365da)
= (1,000,000 x year) / (60 x 60 x 24 x 365) = <em>0.03171 year</em>
Except for that screwy mysterious '168', you have everything there,
and in the right place. Again, I'm going to say that you didn't realize
it, because you dropped all the units and suddenly all you saw was a
bunch of numbers in front of you.
