Answer:

-49/3 and -25/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be represented by f and s (first and second).  Then f = s - 8.  Also, 2f = 3s + 9.  Solve this system for f and s:

Substituting s - 8 for f in the 2nd equation, above, yields

2(s - 8) = 3s + 9, or 2s - 16 = 3s + 9.  Then 3s = -25, and s = -25/3.  The first number is then f = s - 8, or f = -25/3 - 8, or f = -49/3.

Molly uses 192 beads to make a bracelet and a necklace. It takes 5 times as many beads to make a necklace than t does to make a
neonofarm [45]
Solve for the bracelet first. x represents number of beads for bracelet So it would be number of beads for the bracelet + number of beads for necklace (5x) and they both equal 192 x + 5x = 192 Then you would add the x and 5x.<br />6x = 192 Now all you have to do is divide by 6 on both sides. 6× ÷ 6 = 192 ÷ 6 You know have the number of beads it takes for a bracelet. x = 32 to get the necklace all you need to do is multiply it by 5 because you need 5 times more for the necklace. 32 × 5 total beads needed is 160. 160 x+5x=192 6×=192 6x÷6=192÷6 x=32 necklace needs 32x5 beads per necklace is 160

xeze [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 x 20x - 1/4 x 28<2x - 6 + 2

5x - 28/4<2x - 4

5x - 2x<-4 + 28/4

3x<-4/1 + 28/4

3x<-16 + 28/4

3x<12/4

3x<3

3x/3<3/3

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

y = 4; g(7) = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The meaning of g(7) is wherever you see an x in g(x) you put a 7. In this case you are being told that x = 7

So go to 7 on the x axis, go up until you hit the blue line which is g(x) and then read what it says on the y axis. It shows 4 and that is your answer.
