Answer:

The smaller number equals 12, the larger number equals 51.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (3x + 15) = 63

Combine like terms.

4x + 15 = 63

Subtract 15 from both sides.

4x + (15 -15) = (63 - 15)

4x = 48

Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4 = 48/4

x = 12

Check answer.

12 + (3(12) + 15) = 63

12 + 36 + 15 = 63

63 = 63

Write an equation of the translation of y=3/x with asymptotes of x=7 and y= -5
Afina-wow [57]
The curve given has asymptotes at x=0 and y=0. We wish to move it right 7 units so the asymptote becomes x=7 and down 5 so the asymptote is y=-5

To move a function down 5 units subtract 5 from it. To move it right we subtract 7 from the independent variable (from the x). The new function is y=(3/(x-7))-5

y= (3 over (x-7)) then minus 5

2. 8x -28 = -140
8x -28 + 28 = -140 + 28
8x = -112
8x/8 = -112/8
x = -14

3. -9 + x/3 = -23
-9 + 9 + x/3 = -23 + 9
x/3 = -14
x/3/3 = -14/3
x = -14/3

4. x/-1.5 - 3.5 = -13.5
x/-1.5 - 3.5 + 3.5 = -13.5 + 3.5
x/1.5 = -10
x/-1.5/-1.5= -10/-1.5
x = 20/3

5.-6(x + 3) = -36
-6x - 18 = -36
-6x - 18 + 18 = -36 + 18
-6x = -18
-6x/-6 = -18/-6
x = 3

6. k + 3.7/9.8 = -0.22
k + 3.7/9.8/9.8 = -0.22/9.8
k + 3.7 = -2.156
k + 3.7 - 3.7 = -2.156 - 3.7
k = -5.856

7. 12(x - 6) = -108
12x - 72 = -108
12x - 72 + 72 = -108 + 72
12x = -36
12x/12 = -36/12
x = -3

8. -21.83x - -19.9 = -23.83
-21.83x + 19.9 = -23.83
-21.83x + 19.9 - 19.9 = -23.83 - 19.9
-21.83x = -43.73
-21.83x/-21.83 = -43.73/-21.83
x = 2

9. -10x - 68 + x = 40
-9x - 68 = 40
-9x -68 + 68 = 40 + 68
-9x = 108
-9x/-9 = 108/-9
x = -12

10. -34 - 3x - 2x = 71
-34 - 5x = 71
-34 + 34 - 5x = 71 + 34
-5x = 105
-5x/-5 = 105/-5
x = -21

11. 3x - 77 - 8x = 23
-5x - 77 = 23
-5x - 77 + 77 = 23 + 77
-5x = 100
-5x/-5 = 100/-5
x = -20

12. 3x - 5(2x - 12) = 123
3x - 10x + 60 = 123
-7x + 60 = 123
-7x + 60 - 60 = 123 - 60
-7x = 63
-7x/-7 = 63/-7
x = -9

13. -3x + 6(x + 6) = 15
-3x + 6x + 36 = 15
3x + 36 = 15
3x + 36 - 36 = 15 - 36
3x = -21
3x /3 = -21/3
x = -7

14. 5x + 2(4x - 9) = -174
5x + 8x - 18 = -174
13x - 18 = -174
13x - 18 + 18 = -174 + 18
13x = -156
13x/13 = -156/13
x = -12

15. -3x + 6(5x + 3) = -171
-3x + 30x + 18 = -171
27x + 18 = -171
27x + 18 - 18 = -171 - 18
27x = -189
27x/27 = -189/27
x = -7
