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)

Write the equation of the line that
zlopas [31]

Answer:

y=-1/2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the slope of perpendicular line have negative reciprocal coefficients. In this case the coefficient is 2, The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2 and the negative of 1/2 is -1/2. So x will have a coefficient of -1/2.

Second, find the equation with a slope of -1/2 that passes through (-2,3). There are a few ways to do this. I like to plug the given x value into the expression -1/2x, so -1/2(-2) which equals positive 1 and for the line to pass through the point (-2,3) you need to add 2. So: y=-1/2x+2

I NEED HELP PLEASE DONT SEND ME LINKS TO WEBSITES. ANSWER THE QUESTION HERE THANK YOU.
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

33

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles add up to 180 degrees because a straight line is 180 degrees

<em>Add both equations and set equal to 180</em>

3m + 138 + 7m +12 = 180

<em>Algebra yeet</em>

<em>Simplify</em>

10m +150 = 180

10m = 30

m = 3

Angle DBC is (7m + 12):

<em>Substitute m = 3</em>

7(3) + 12 = 21 + 12 = 33 degrees

Given the following formula, solve for I.<br><br> P = 2(1 + 6)<br><br> PLEASE HELP!!!
Pepsi [2]

Step-by-step explanation

Here ...I'm not too sure about the question as you have written

P = 2 ( 1 + 6 ) and ask to solve for L ...

.So I guess the question you have written is wrong .. ...and I guess there should be L in the place of 1.

...So let me correct the question....

P = 2 ( l + 6 )

P = 2l + 12

P - 2l = 12

- 2l = 12 - P

- 2l = - P + 12

Change the sign of both side of the equation...

2l = P + 12

divide both side by the same number...

L = ( P + 12 ) ÷ 2

l =  \frac{1}{2} p - 12 \times  \frac{1}{2}  \\

Calculate the product of rational numbers...

l =  \frac{1}{2} p - 6 \\
