Step-by-step explanation:
Try breaking these into sections.
Twice: 2 times
The sum of: add
A number: choose a variable, like x
---Thus "the sum of a number and 4" becomes "add x and 4" which, mathematically, is "x+4"
-----Continuing to put it all together, "Twice the sum of a number and four" becomes "2 times (x+4)" which, mathematically, is "2(x+4)"
Is: equals
-------"Twice the sum of a number and four is" becomes "2(x+4)="
23 less than: subtract 23. This one tends to trick people; "23 less than" will become "__ - 23", NOT "23 - __"
three times the number: 3 times x
---"23 less than three times the number" becomes "subtract 23 from 3 times x" which, mathematically, is "3x-23"
-------So the final phrase: 2(x+4)=3x-23"
Answer:
a ) y = 1 and x = -1
d) y = 5 and x = -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
<h2><u>
Substitution method</u></h2><h2><u>Question a</u></h2>
y = x+ 2
y = 2x + 3
<em>we can make the first formula in terms of x , so we can place in into the second formula</em>
y = x + 2
x = y - 2
now put y - 2 where x is in the second equation
y = 2x + 3
y = 2(y - 2) + 3
y = 2y - 4 +3
now solve
4 - 3 = 2y -y
y = 1
since y = 1 we can find what x is by putting into the first formula
y = x +2
x = y - 2
x = (1) -2
x = -1
<h3><u>hence y = 1 and x = -1 </u></h3><h3><u /></h3><h2><u>Question d</u></h2>
y = 2x + 6
y = 4 - 2x
<em>we can make the first formula in terms of x , so we can place in into the second formula</em>
y = 2x + 6
y - 6 = 2x
x = (y-6)/ 2
now place (y-6)/2 where x is in the second formula
y = 4 -2x
y = 4 - 2 (
)
now solve
the multiplication by 2 and division by 2 are cancelled out
hence making the simplified equation as:
y = 4 - y + 6
2y = 4 + 6
2y = 10
y = 5
now place this into the first equation
y = 2x + 6
y - 6 = 2x
x = (y-6)/ 2
x = (5-6)/2
x = -1/2
<h3><u>
hence y = 5 and x = -1/2</u></h3>
Answer:
x2 - 10x - 1994
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
1.1 Factoring x2-10x-1994
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -10x its coefficient is -10 .
The last term, "the constant", is -1994
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -1994 = -1994
Step-2 : Find two factors of -1994 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -10 .
-1994 + 1 = -1993
-997 + 2 = -995
-2 + 997 = 995
-1 + 1994 = 1993
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
Final result :
x2 - 10x - 1994

Answer:
Angle 11 is the alternate exterior of angle 5 meaning there is only 1 angle that is alternate of angle 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
An exterior angle is an angle outside of the shape (hence ex meaning out). However, an ALTERNATE angle is an angle opposite of a transversal line of another angle. The angles on the same transversal line of 5 are 8, 7, 9, 10, 12, and 11. However, we are looking for ALTERNATE EXTERIOR angles not just exterior. 8, 7, 9, 10, and 12 are just exterior which leaves angle 11 as alternate exterior. Angle 11 is the alternate exterior of angle 5 meaning there is only 1 angle that is alternate of angle 5.
