X = 2/3y - 2
x + y = 103

2/3y - 2 + y = 103
2/3y + y = 103 + 2
5/3y = 105
y = 105 * 3/5
y = 315/5 = 63

x + y = 103
x + 63 = 103
x = 103 - 63
x = 40

so ur 2 numbers are : 63 and 40

X + (2x/3 - 2) = 103 : Write the expression.
x + 2x/3 - 2 = 103 : Remove parentheses.
(x + 2x/3 - 2) × 3 = 103 × 3 : Multiply both sides by 3 to remove the fraction.
3x + 2x - 6 = 309 : Evaluate.
5x - 6 = 309 : Combine like terms
5x - 6 + 6 = 309 + 6 : Isolate x by adding 6 to each side.
5x / 5 = 315 / 5 : Divide by x to find its value.
x = 63.
63 is one of the number. Now, find the second number using its quantity.
2x / 3 - 2
2(63) / 3 - 2
126 / 3 - 2 = 40.
One of the numbers is 63, and the other number is 40.

Factories 24x^2-41x+12
andriy [413]

Answer:

(3x - 4)(8x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 24 × 12 and sum = - 41

The required factors are - 32 and - 9

Use these factors to split the x- term

24x² - 32x - 9x + 12 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 8x(3x - 4) - 3(3x - 4) ← factor out (3x - 4) from each term

= (3x - 4)(8x - 3) ← in factored form

Graph this function:<br> y=5x<br> Click to select points on the graph.
inessss [21]

Answer:

You did not include your graph, therefore I will explain in the step-by-step everything you should need to know.

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard slope formula is y=mx + b, where m = slope (rise/run) and b = the y intercept.

Using this knowledge, we know that this line has a slope of 5, or 5/1, which means that you will go up 5 and 1 to the right. Since there is no + b part, that means b = 0, so the line begins at 0,0. So, using this information, possible points include 0,0, 5,1, 10,2, 15,3, etc.
