Find the velocity first, the "slope".
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(95.5-53)/(4-2)
m=21.25 ? Your equations are wrong, I'll double check with another set of points...
m=(350.5-308)/(16-14)
m=21.25 LOL, yep none of your lines has the correct slope.
Anyway...
y=21.25x+b, using any point we can solve for the y-intercept, or "b", (2, 53)
53=21.25(2)+b
53=42.5+b
10.5=b so the distance to the lighthouse as a function of time is:
y=21.25x+10.5
So essentially, you should fire your teacher or burn that book you are using :)
Let the lesser number be x and y the greater. Then
x + 65 = 4y , Also
y - x = 2
Adding:-
y + 65 = 4y + 2
63 = 3y
y = 21
and
x = 21-2 = 19
Answer the 2 odd numbers are 19 and 21.
Answer:
<h2>x = -2 (verified by algebra) ✅</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are given the value of y, we can replace it with 5x + 7.
We now have: 3x + 5x + 7 = -9
We can now simplify by adding 3x and 5x to get 8x.
8x + 7 = -9
We can subtract 7
8x = -16
And now, we divide by 8
x = -2
We can check to make sure we are correct
3(-2) + 5 (-2) + 7 = -9
-6 + -10 + 7 = -9
-9 = -9 ✅
