Answer:

14 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by naming the first number x.

We can name the second number y.

We can set up equations to model our situation.

x+y=2x-8

x-y=2y-4

Let's simplify the equations.

x+y=2x-8

Subtract 2x from both sides

-x+y=-8

__________

x-y=2y-4

Subtract 2y from both sides.

x-3y=-4

Add the two equations together to eliminate x.

x-3y=-4

-x+y=-8

________

0x-2y=-12

-2y=-12

Divide both sides by -2.

y=6

The second number is 6.

Plug that back in.

x+6=2x-8

Subtract x from both sides

6=x-8

Add 8 to both sides

x=14

The first number is 14

Answer:

c. In 2 seconds, the commuter train travels 120 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached graph

Required

What does x-coordinate of 2 represents

Represent this coordinate with (x,y)

From the graph:

x = 2 when y = 120

Note that:

x = time and y = distance

So:

(x,y) = (2,120)

Which means:

At 2 seconds, the train has travelled a distance of 120ft

<em>From the list of options, (c) is correct</em>

NO LINKS!!!<br><br>QRSTU ~ FGCDE. Find FG, CD, and EF. ​
arsen [322]

Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

<u>QRSTU ~ FGCDE</u>

Finding the scale factor :

  • Take two corresponding sides in proportion
  • RS : GC
  • 40 : 12
  • <u>10 : 3</u>

Applying the scale factor to find the missing sides :

- FG :

  • QR : FG = 10 : 3
  • 30/FG = 10/3
  • FG = 30/10 x  3
  • FG = 3 x 3
  • <u>FG = 9</u>

- CD :

  • ST : CD = 10 : 3
  • 40/CD = 10/3
  • CD = 40/10 x 3
  • CD = 4 x 3
  • <u>CD = 12</u>

- EF :

  • UQ : EF = 10 : 3
  • 30/EF = 10/3
  • EF = 30/10 x 3
  • EF = 3 x 3
  • <u>EF = 9</u>
