Mathematics
1 answer:
boyakko [2]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The number is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A number tripled and 6 is 24

To Find:

The Number = ?

Solution:

Let the number be x

The question states that the number is tripled. so lets multiply the number by 3, We get

3x

Then

3x + 6 = 24

On solving the equation we get

3x = 24 -6

3x = 18

x = \frac{18}{3}

x = 6

Find the equation of this line. y= [?]x+[?]
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

y=3x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where <em>m</em> is the slope and <em>b</em> is the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0)

<u>1) Determine the slope (</u><u><em>m</em></u><u>)</u>

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

On the graph, two points are highlighted for us: (0,-4) and (2,2). Plug these into the formula:

m=\displaystyle\frac{2-(-4)}{2-0}\\\\m=\displaystyle\frac{2+4}{2}\\\\m=\displaystyle\frac{6}{2}\\\\m=3

Therefore, the slope of the line is 3. Plug this into y=mx+b:

y=3x+b

<u>2) Determine the y-intercept (</u><u><em>b</em></u><u>)</u>

y=3x+b

Recall that the y-intercept occurs when x=0. Given the point (0,-4), the y-intercept is therefore -4. Plug this into y=3x+b:

y=3x+(-4)\\y=3x-4

I hope this helps!

Translate to a system of equations:
omeli [17]

Answer:

m + n = 15

m - 3 = n

The numbers are 9 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

The sum of two numbers is fifteen; the first number is m and the second number is n. To translate to a system of equations, we can write that

m + n = 15 ..... (1)

Also, from the question,

One number is three less than the other,

Also, to translate to a system of equations, we can write that

m - 3 = n ...... (2)

If desired, we can determine m and n

From equation (1)

m + n = 15

Then,

m = 15 - n ...... (3)

Put the value of m in equation (3) into equation (2)

m - 3 = n

Then

15 - n - 3 = n

15 - 3 = n + n

12 = 2n

n = 12/2

∴ n = 6

For m, put the value of n into equation 3

m = 15 - n

m = 15 - 6

m = 9

∴ m = 9 and n = 6

Hence, the numbers are 9 and 6

What is the factored form of this polynomial?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

(x - 4)(x + 9)

Answer C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

{x}^{2}  + 5x - 36 \\  {x}^{2}   +  9x  - 4x - 36 \\ x(x  + 9)  -  4(x   +  9) \\  = (x  -  4)(x  + 9)

hope this helps

brainliest appreciated

good luck! have a nice day!
