Answer:

-2 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set the larger number to x, and the smaller to y. With these, we can set up our equations.

x = 2y + 8

x + y = 3x - 10

Now, we put the value of x into the second equation.

2y + 8 + y = 3(2y + 8) - 10

Now we can solve for y

3y + 8 = 6y + 24 - 10

3y + 8 = 6y + 14

8 = 3y + 14

-6 = 3y

-2 = y

Now that we have the smaller number, we can put it into the first equation and solve for the larger.

x = 2*-2 + 8

x = -4 + 8

x = 4

So your two numbers are -2 and 4.

In two or more complete sentences explain how you would set up and solve the equation: Dan and Rick belong to different gyms. Da
olga55 [171]
The equation would be 40+15p=70+5p. You would subtract 5p from each side (15-5) and (5-5) and you'll have 40+10p=70. You would then subtract 40 from each side (70-40) and (40-40) to have 10p=30. You would divide by both of the sides by 10, you would end up with p=3. P is price training. The reason you divide and subtract on both sides is because you want the months to be on one side and the price training on the other side.

Hello there!

2. f(x) = x - 2x² - 5 + 10x

=-2x² + 8x - 5

f'(x)= -4x + 8

4. y = 100(45x - 30 - 3x³ + 2x²)

= 100(-3x³ + 2x² + 45x -30)

= -300x³ + 200x² + 4500x - 3000

y' = -900x² + 400x + 4500
