1/2x + 16 = 36
1/2x = 36 - 16
1/2x = 20
x = 20 * 2
x = 40 <== he started with 40

What is a solution to the system? y = x^2 + 2x - 15 y – 4x = -12
astra-53 [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (x, y) = (-1, -16) or (3, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps you want to solve the system of equations ...

  • y = x^2 +2x -15
  • y -4x = -12

Substituting the first expression for y into the second equation gives ...

  x^2 +2x -15 -4x = -12

  x^2 -2x -3 = 0 . . . . . . . . add 12

  (x -3)(x +1) = 0 . . . . . . .  factor

Solutions are the values of x that make the factors zero: x = 3, x = -1.

The corresponding values of y are ...

  y = -12 +4x

  y = -12 +4{-1, 3} = -12 +{-4, 12} = {-16, 0}

The solutions to the system are ...

  (x, y) = (-1, -16) or (3, 0)

How do I find mean median range iqr and standard deviation ​
ycow [4]

Answer: to find the mean add the numbers that were given then Divine by the amount of numbers you added. To find the median put all the numbers in numerical order and pick the middle one if it is an even amount of numbers than you pick the number exactly halfway between the two middle. To find the range you see how many numbers are repeated in which ever number is repeated the most amount of times that is the range.

Which graph is the correct one?
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

The upper graph

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two quadratic function here

y=-x^{2} +3x+5\\y=x^{2} +2x\\

If we perform the function f(x) + g(x), which is nothing more than the sum of the two functions, we obtain a linear function, since the quadratic terms are eliminated by themselves

5x+5
