Answer:

13 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

create an equation to solve:

(2x-3) + x = 36

3x - 3 = 36 combine like terms

+3 +3 add 3 to both sides

3x = 39

3 3 divide both sides by 3

x = 13

13 is the first number

the 2nd number is 3 let than twice the first so we create and solve a new equation:

2x - 3 = ?

2(13) = ? substitute 13 from the

smaller number to solve

23 = the 2nd number

State the y-coordinate of the y-intercept for the function below.

marta [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y-intercept is defined as the point where the graph crosses the y-axis. The value of x coordinate at this point is zero, as along entire y-axis, the value of x coordinate is always zero. So substituting x = 0 in the function will give us the y-coordinate of the y-intercept of the given function.

$f(x)=x^{3}-x^{2} -x+1$

Substituting x = 0 in this function, we get:

$f(0)=0^{3}-0^{2}-0+1=1$

Thus, the y-coordinate of the y-intercept is 1. Therefore the y-intercept of the function in ordered pair will be: (0, 1)
