Let's say the larger number is x. that means that the smaller number is x - 3. since you know their sum is x + x - 3, and that is equal to 14. so you have the equation x + x - 3 = 14. combine like terms (x) to get 2x - 3 = 14. add three to both sides to get 2x = 17. divide both sides by two to get x = 17/2. so the larger number is 17/2, and the larger number is 11/2 (17/2 - 3 = 11/2)
Exact value of that equation is 4
SOLUTION
Given the question on the question tab;
The trace on the graph is given below;
Final answer:
The volume of the box when x=1 is 15 cubic inches.
Answer:
y = 0.375x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let there are two variables, one independent variable x and another dependent variable y which are in proportionality relation.
So, y ∝ x
⇒ y = kx ........... (1) {Where k is the proportionality constant}
Let us assume that the given values of 4 and 1.50 are values of x and y respectively.
Hence, from equation (1) we get, 1.5 = 4k
⇒ k = 0.375
So, the proportionality equation is y = 0.375x (Answer)
