Answer:

It's just a simultaneous equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a big bag of sugar = x

Let a small bag of flour = y

x+x+y = 12kg

2x+y = 12kg ... 1

x-y = 2kg ... 2

Add 1 and 2

2x+y = 12

x -y = 2

3x = 14

x = 14/3 = 4.66

Substitute value of x into 1

2(4.66)+y = 12

9.333 + y = 12

12 - 9.333= 12

y = 2.66

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: third option, it's a parabola

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (x + 4)²

f(x) = x² + 4

f(x) = (x - 4)² I think this is the right answer, because when get the vertex, the signs are changed, if the -4 is negative, it means that the graph must be located in +4.

f(x) = x² - 4

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The answer is 4 + √15 .

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to get rid of surds in the denorminator by multiplying it with the opposite sign :

$\frac{ \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3} }$

$= \frac{ \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3} } \times \frac{ \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3} }$

$= \frac{ {( \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3} ) }^{2} }{( \sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3} )( \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3}) }$

$= \frac{ {( \sqrt{5} )}^{2} + 2( \sqrt{5} )( \sqrt{3}) + {( \sqrt{3}) }^{2} }{ {( \sqrt{5}) }^{2} - { (\sqrt{3} )}^{2} }$

$= \frac{5 + 2 \sqrt{15} + 3 }{5 - 3}$

$= \frac{8 + 2 \sqrt{15} }{2}$

$= 4 + \sqrt{15}$
