Answer:

11 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

A good way to solve these is to work backwards.

X= larger and Y= smaller

if X is 5 more than 2Y than subtract 5 from the total

38 - 5 = 33

divide by 3

33/3 = 11

11 = Y and double that is 22 so add the five back into X and you get 16

Find the x intercepts of f(x) = –16x^2 + 22x + 3
Helga [31]
That is where the line crosses the x axis or where y=0

0=-16x^2+22x+3
we gon do grouping
ac method
-16 times 3=-48

what 2 numbers multiply to get -48 and add to get 22
-2 and 24
0=-16x^2-2x+24x+3
group
0=(-16x^2-2x)+(24x+3)
undistribute
0=-2x(8x+1)+3(8x+1)
undistribute
0=(8x+1)(-2x+3)
set eaqual to 0

8x+1=0
8x=-1
x=-1/8

-2x+3=0
3=2x
3/2=x

x intercepts ate x=-1/8 and x=3/2

Select the equations of the lines that are parallel to the line whose equation is y = 3x + 5. There might be more than one answe
o-na [289]
Parallel means they have the same slope.
The given equation has a slope of 3. Slope intercept equation: y = mx + b
a. 6x + 2y = 12
Subtract 6x from both sides.
2y = - 6x + 12
Divide both sides by 2.
y = -3x + 6 Not parallel

b. -3x + y = 8
Add 3x to both sides.
y = 3x + 8 Parallel

c. 3y = 9x
Divide both sides by 3
y = 3x Parallel

d. y = -1/3x Not parallel

B and C are parallel
