Did you make a larger unit with 377?

The larger of two numbers is five more than twice the smaller number. The sum of the two numbers is 38. Find the numbers.

Damm [24]

Answer:

I would set this up as:

let: lesser number = x

greater number = 2x + 5

Restating the word problem:

lesser number + greater number = 38

x + 2x + 5 = 38

Solving: 3x + 5 = 38

- 5 -5

---------------

3x = 33

--- ---

3 3

x = 11

Substitution for the greater number:

2(11) + 5

22 + 5

27

There are a lot of numbers you can think of, for example, 1030, or even 9939, but I don't recommend you put that ;)

Answer:

Question 4: $y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x$

Question 5: $y=-5x-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis).

Question 4

1) Determine the slope (m)

$\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ where two points that pass through the line are $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$

In the graph, two easy-to-identify points on the line are (-5,4) and (5,-4). Plug these into the equation:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{-4-4}{5-(-5)}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-4-4}{5+5}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-8}{10}\\\\\displaystyle m=-\frac{4}{5}$

Therefore, the slope of the line is $\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}$ . Plug this into $y=mx+b$ as the slope (m):

$y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

On the graph, we can see that the line crosses the y-axis when y is 0. Therefore, the y-intercept (b) is 0. Plug this into $y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x+b$ :

$y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x+0\\\\y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x$

Question 5

1) Determine the slope (m)

$\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Two easy-to-identify points are (-1,2) and (0,-3). Plug these into the equation:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{-3-2}{0-(-1)}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-3-2}{0+1}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-5}{1}\\\\m=-5$

Therefore, the slope is -5. Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=-5x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

On the graph, we can see that the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0,-3). The y-coordinate of this point is -3. Therefore, the y-intercept (b) is -3. Plug this into $y=-5x+b$ :

$y=-5x+(-3)\\y=-5x-3$

I hope this helps!

In September, a greeting card company's total profit was 22% less than it was in august. The total profit for the two months was

Trava [24]

Profit for August: x
Profit for September: x - 22%x
Total Profit for August & September: $689,000

x + x - 22% x = 689,000

2x - .22x = 689,000
1.78x = 689,000
x = 689,000/1.78
x = 387,078.65

August Profits: $387,078.65
September Profits: 387,078.65 - (22%)(387,078.65) = 387,078.65 - 85,157.30 = 301,921.35

August Profits: $387,078.65

September Profits
$301,921.35
