Step-by-step explanation: Let x be the larger number and let y be the smaller one.

x-y=13

x=2y+3

Now you can substitute x=2y-3 into the first equation.

x-y=13=(2y+3)-y

y+3=13

y=10

x=2y+3=20+3=23. Hope that helped!

Answer:

x = 23 \\ y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

x - y = 13  =  > y = x - 13\\ x = 2y + 3 \\  \\ x = 2(x - 13) + 3 \\ x = 2x - 23 \\ x = 23 \\  \\ 23 - y = 13 \\ 23 - 13 = y \\ y = 10

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

a) 27

b) 15

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The mean of the uniform distribution is:

M = \frac{a + b}{2}

The variance of the uniform distribution is given by:

V = \frac{(b-a)^{2}}{12}

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance.

They can be said to follow a Uniform distribution from 1 to 53

This means that a = 1, b = 53

a. The mean of this distribution is

M = \frac{a + b}{2} = \frac{1 + 53}{2} = 27

b. The standard deviation is:

s = \sqrt{V} = \sqrt{\frac{(b-a)^{2}}{12}} = \sqrt{\frac{(53-1)^{2}}{12}} = 15

Through: (-5, -5), parallel to y = 3/5x + 3
Komok [63]

Answer:

\displaystyle y=\frac{3}{5}x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the equation of a line parallel to:

\displaystyle y=\frac{3}{5}x+3

And passes through (-5, -5).

Recall that parallel lines must have the same slope.

Since the slope of our old line is 3/5, the slope of our new line must also be 3/5.

So, we know that the slope of our new line is 3/5 and it passes through (-5, -5).

Now, we can use the point-slope form given by:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

We will let (-5, -5) be (x₁, y₁). m is the slope or 3/5. Hence:

\displaystyle y-(-5)=\frac{3}{5}(x-(-5))

Simplify:

\displaystyle y+5=\frac{3}{5}(x+5)

Distribute:

\displaystyle y+5=\frac{3}{5}x+3

Subtract 5 from both sides:

\displaystyle y=\frac{3}{5}x-2

And we have our equation.
