21. The difference between two numbers is 29. If five times the smaller is subtracted from twice the larger,

Mathematics

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)

Which of the following sets of ordered pairs represents a function?
Mila [183]

{(-1,3),(-1,4),(-1,5),(-1,6)} is the set from the given question which is a set of ordered pairs representing a function.

<h3>What is ordered pair?</h3>

An ordered pair (a, b) in mathematics is a group of two things. The pair's order of objects matters because the ordered pair (a, b) differs from the ordered pair (b, a) unless a = b. (By contrast, an unordered pair of a and b equals an unordered pair of b and a.)

Ordered pairs are also known as 2-tuples, or sequences (or, in computer science, occasionally, lists) of length 2. Sometimes referred to as 2-dimensional vectors, ordered pairs of scalars. Technically speaking, this is a misuse of the term because an ordered pair need not be a component of a vector space. An ordered pair's entries may be other ordered pairs, allowing for the recursive definition of ordered n-tuples (ordered lists of n objects).

Factorize by splitting the middle term 6x-11x+4​
Gennadij [26K]

Answer: (2x - 1)(3x - 4)

(split -11x as -8x and -3x)

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming that it is actually 6x^2 - 11x + 4

To find out how to split the middle term: The two numbers should multiply to a*c (6*4 = 24) and add to b (-11)

-8, -3 works

(6x^2 - 8x) + (-3x + 4)

2x(3x - 4) + -1(3x - 4)

(2x - 1)(3x - 4)

A video game is on sale for 20% off. The sale price of the game is $35.00. How much did the game ORIGINALLY cost?
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

$43.75

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much the game would have been 20% off from 43.75, you would have needed the expression

43.75*0.8

So to go from 35 to 43.75, you need the expression

35/0.8.

This expression in simpler terms means What is 38, 80% of?

That is how we get 43.75.

35/0.8 = 43.75.
