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.

Express in Slope-Intercept Form
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

y = (3/4)x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b where (x, y) is a point on the linear graph, m is the slope (rise/run), and b is the y-intercept (the y-value at which the graph passes through the y-axis).

Looking at the graph, we can see that the point at which the line crosses the y-axis is (0, 2) which makes it the y-intercept. Thus, the b in the slope-intercept form is 2.

Next, we are looking for the slope of the line. To do this, we can calculate the rise/run of the line by choosing to points on it. Since we already have the point (0, 2), we just need one more.

For example, the point (-4, -1) can be used. The slope can be found by ((y-y)/(x-x)) in which the first y and x values correspond with the first point and that of the second correspond with the second set. So in this case, m = (2-(-1))/(0-(-4)) = 3/4

Plugging in the calculated m and b value in the slope intercept equation, we get y = (3/4)x + 2

Find thr valuse of x, rounded to the nearest tenth.<br><br>3.8<br>4<br>2.7<br>2.9​
irina1246 [14]

Answer: 4  (OPTION 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To solve this problem you must apply the  Intersecting secants  theorem, as you can see below:

(A+B)B=(C+D)D

Where:

(A+B)=6

B=x\\(C+D)=8\\D=2

2. Then you must susbstitute values and solve for x, as following:

6x=24\\x=24/6\\x=4

Therefore the answer is the second option.

If m angle KNM = (8x - 5)° and m angle MNJ = (4x - 19)° , find the measure of angle KNM. ​
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

131°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since KNJ is a straight line,

∡KNM +∡MNJ= 180° (adj. ∡s on a str. line)

(8x -5)° +(4x -19)°= 180°

<em>Simplify:</em>

12x -24= 180

<em>+</em><em>2</em><em>4</em><em> </em><em>on </em><em>both </em><em>sides</em><em>:</em>

12x= 180 +24

12x= 204

<em>Divide</em><em> </em><em>both </em><em>sides </em><em>by </em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em>:</em>

x= 204 ÷12

x= 17

∡KNM

= (8x -5)°

= [8(17) -5]°

= (136 -5)°

= 131°
