Answer: 48

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to write a system of equations:

The difference between two numbers is 29. Difference means one number (y) minus another number (x) equals 29.

y-x =29

If five times the smaller ( 5 times x , x is the smaller number because is the number to subtract) is subtracted from twice the larger, (2y)

The result will be one

2y-5x =1

Now, we have to multiply the first equation by 2, and subtract the second equation to the first one:

2y -2x = 58

-

2y-5x =1

__________

3x =57

Solve for x:

x =57/3 =19

Replacing the value of x on any equation:

y-x =29

y-19 =29

y = 29+19 = 48

48 (y)> 19(x)

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

A scientist launched an object upward at a speed of 32 ft per second from a height of 240 feet. The height of the object is mode
QveST [7]

Answer:

B 5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

h = 240 + 32t – 16t^2

When is this equation 0

0 = 240 + 32t – 16t^2

Factor out 16

0 = -16(-15-2t+t^2)

   = -16(t^2-2t-15)

What 2 numbers multiply to -15 and add to -2

-5*3 = -15

-5+3 =-2


0 = -16(t-5) (t+3)

Using the zero product property

t-5=0   t+3=0

t=5    t=-3

Since time cannot be negative

t=5 seconds

Find the equation of a line that is parallel to
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

g(x) = 3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

If a line is parallel to another, they have the same slope.

Step 1: Define variables

<em>m</em> = 3

Random pt (2, 3)

y = 3x + b

Step 2: Find <em>b</em>

3 = 3(2) + b

3 = 6 + b

b = -3

Step 3: Write parallel linear equation

y = 3x - 3
