Answer:

Numbers are 14 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 numbers be x and y.

Write 2 equations:

x + y = 22

x - y = 6

Solve by substitution:

x - y = 6

x = y + 6

Plug into the other equation:

(y + 6) + y = 22

2y + 6 = 22

2y = 16

y = 8

Plug into either equation:

x + 8 = 22

x = 14

Numbers are 14 and 8

Answer:

14 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

x and 22-x (x+22-x=22)

22-x-x=6

22-2x=6

22-6=2x

16=2x

x=8

22-8=14

Each of the line segments in the word MATH are numbered in the graph below. Find the slope (as a ratio of rise over run) of each

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

7. Line 1 = undefined.

Slope of a vertical line is always undefined. The run is zero as x-coordinate remains the same.

8. Line 2 = $\frac{4}{3}$

$slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$slope = \frac{8 - 4}{-5 -(-8)}$

$slope = \frac{8 - 4}{-5 + 8}$

$slope = \frac{4}{3}$

9. Line 3 = $\frac{4}{3}$

$slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$slope = \frac{8 - 4}{-2 -(-5)}$

$slope = \frac{8 - 4}{-2 + 5}$

$slope = \frac{4}{3}$

10. Line 4 = undefined (slope of a vertical line is always undefined)

11. Line 5 = $\frac{7}{3}$

$slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$slope = \frac{8 - 1}{5 - 2}$

$slope = \frac{7}{3}$

12. Line 6 = $-\frac{7}{3}$

$slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$slope = \frac{8 - 1}{5 - 8}$

$slope = \frac{7}{-3}$

$slope = -\frac{7}{3}$

13. Line 7 = 0

An horizontal line has no rise.

14. Line 8 = 0 (slope of horizontal line is always zero)

15. Line 9 = undefined (slope of a vertical line is always undefined)

16. Line 10 = undefined (slope of a vertical line is always undefined)

17. Line 11 = 0 (slope of horizontal line is always zero)

18. Line 12 = undefined (slope of a vertical line is always undefined)

Hello, I need help with this question.

ella [17]

Answer:

The answer would be 22/12 or 1 and 11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2+2/3+3/4

First get common denominators so you have a denominator of 12 so 6/12+8/12+9/12

Add those together and you get 23/12 but you have to subtract one because that's what the problem says so you get 22/12

What is the intersection of yhe sets A={2,3,5,7,11}and B={5,11,13,15,17}?

xxTIMURxx [149]

The intersection of two sets A and B is defined as the set composed by the elements appearing in both A and B.

So, the intersection is

$A\cap B = \{5,11\}$

Because all the other numbers do not belong to both sets:

2, 3 and 7 belong to A alone
13, 15 and 17 belong to B alone
5 and 11 belong to both A and B
