Answer:
We have that the sum of two numbers is 9
this can be written as:
x + y = 9
where x is the larger number.
Now we want to write:
"the difference between one more than the larger number and twice the smaller number"
First, remember that the difference between A and B is:
A - B
Then "the difference between one more than the larger number and twice the smaller number"
is:
"one more than the larger number" = ( x + 1)
"twice the smaller number" = 2*y
the difference between these is:
(x + 1) - 2*y
Now we can simplify:
We know that:
x + y = 9
then:
y = 9 - x
replacing that in the equation:
(x + 1) - 2*y
we would get:
x + 1 - 2*(9 - x)
x + 1 -18 + 2x
(x + 2x) + (1 - 18)
3x - 17
This means that we can write:
"the difference between one more than the larger number and twice the smaller number"
as: 3x - 17
Answer:
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:
x: number of hammers
y: number of wrenches
We write the system of inequations:
10x + 6y <= 120
x + y> = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
2x - y = 11 → (1)
x + 3y = - 5 → (2)
Multiply (1) by 3 and add to (2) to eliminate the y- term
6x - 3y = 33 → (3)
Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate y, that is
7x = 28 ( divide both sides by 7 )
x = 4
Answer: m = -5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
The general equation for slope is rise over run, also known as:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
From the points (x, y), we can get all the variables we need.
(-1, -7) gives us x1 = -1 and y1 = -7
(-9, -2) gives us x2 = -9 and y2 = -2
If we plug all the values in, we get:
m = (-2 - (-7))/(-9 - (-1))
m = (-2 + 7)/(-9 + 1) the negatives cancel
m = (5)/(-8)
m = -5/8
Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
5x3=15, that's the area of the larger square. Next, 2x1=2 is the area of the smaller one. (3-2=1 and 7-5=2)
17
