Let x and y be the two numbers

Saying "The sum of two numbers is 27" means x+y = 27. The term "sum" is the result of adding. So the first equation is x+y = 27

The second equation is y = x+3 where we assume that y is the larger number of the pair. 

So your system of equations will be
x+y = 27
y = x+3

Use substitution to solve this system. 
x+y = 27
x+( y ) = 27
x + (x+3) = 27 ... notice how y has been replaced with x+3 (since y = x+3)
x+x+3 = 27
Solve for x and then use this to find y. I'll let you finish up.

If you need more help, then please let me know.

Find the slope of the line that passes through the following points: (5, 3) and (-2, -4)
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, you must subtract the second y axis from the first y axis then the second x axis from the first x axis.

Problem: (5, 3) (-2, -4)

Solution: Step 1.   - 4 - 3 = 7  (subtract the second y axis from the first y axis)

               Step 2.  - 2 - 5 = 7  (subtract the second x axis from the first x axis)

Answer: 7/7

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles shown are alternate exterior angles.

Alternate exterior angles are congruent

This means that 46 must equal 3x - 14

Note that we've just created an equation that we can use to solve for

We now use the equation to solve for x

3x - 14 = 46

add 14 to both sides

3x - 14 + 14 = 46 + 14

simplify

3x = 60

Divide both sides by 3

3x / 3 = x

60 / 3 = 20

We get that x = 20

Part a) In 35 minutes, 25 number of pages have been read.

Part b) There is positive association between time and the number of pages being read

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) What is the meaning of the point (35,25)

35 is the value of x-axis and 25 is the value of y-axis

x-axis represent Time(minute) while y-axis represent Number of pages read

So, in 35 minutes, 25 number of pages have been read.

Part b) Is the association between time and number of pages positive or negative? state the association in terms of variables.

Association is positive if increasing one variable, other variable is also increasing.

Association is negative if increasing one variable, other variable is decreasing.

In the given graph, the association is positive. Increasing the time, the number of pages being read are also increasing.

if time is 20 minutes, number of pages read are 12.5. if time is 25 minutes then number of pages read are 17

So, there is positive association between time and the number of pages being read.
