Step-by-step explanation:

n-first\ number\\\text{the second number is 6 times the first number}\\6n-second\ number\\\\\text{the sum is 21:}\\\\n+6n=21\\7n=21\qquad\text{divide both sides by 7}\\\boxed{n=3}\\\\6n=6(3)\\\boxed{6n=18}

Answer:

Sum of the two numbers is 21 and Second number is six times the first number

x+6x = 21

7x = 21

x = 21/7

x = 3

substitute x value in 6x to find second number,

 = 6x

 = 6*3

 = 18

Therefore first number is 3 and second number is 18

Can the sum of two mixed numbers be equal to 2, explain why or why not
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
No because a mixed number is a whole number with a fraction and the smallest whole number is one so 1 and a fraction pulse and a fraction will equal more than 2

What equation represents y=2x^2+24x+85 in vertex form
Andrej [43]
Y=a(x-h)^2+k

vertex form is basically completing the square

what you do is
for
y=ax^2+bx+c
1. isolate x terms
y=(ax^2+bx)+c
undistribute a
y=a(x^2+(b/a)x)+c
complete the square by take 1/2 of b/a and squaring it then adding negative and postive inside
y=a(x^2+(b/a)x+(b^2)/(4a^2)-(b^2)/(4a^2))+c
complete square
too messy \
anyway

y=2x^2+24x+85
isolate
y=(2x^2+24x)+85
undistribute
y=2(x^2+12x)+85
1/2 of 12 is 6, 6^2=36
add neagtive and postivie isnde
y=2(x^2+12x+36-36)+85
complete perfect square
y=2((x+6)^2-36)+85
distribute
y=2(x+6)^2-72+85
y=2(x+6)^2+13

vertex form is
y=2(x+6)^2+13
