The two numbers are 15 and 6

Solution:

Let the two number be "a" and "b"

Let the first number be "a" and second number be "b"

Given that,

The difference between two numbers is 9

a - b = 9 -------- eqn 1

The first number plus twice the other number is 27

First number + twice the second number = 27

a + 2b = 27 ---------- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

From eqn 1,

a = 9 + b ------ eqn 3

Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2

9 + b + 2b = 27

3b = 27 - 9

3b = 18

Divide both sides of equation by 3

Substitute b = 6 in eqn 3

a = 9 + 6

Thus the two numbers are 15 and 6

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

#2 the answer is B, -16/9

do 1/4-5/2

to do this, find the least common denominator. it's 4

1/4-10/4=-9/4

then divide 4 by -9/4. This is the same as 4*-4/9. That is -16/9

#3 the answer is A 9x/x-8

first factor the denominator of the first fraction using special products

x^2-6x-16=(x-8)(x+2)

if you look at the first fraction, you can simplify x+2 leaving you with the fraction 1/x+8

multiply that by 9x, and you get 9x/x-8

#4 the answer is C (2x+1)/2x^2

first add x/4 and 1/8

find the least common denominator. its 8

2x/8 + 1/8 is equal to (2x+1)/8

then multiply that by x^2/4 because dividing a fraction is the same as multiplying its reciprocal

you get (2x+1)/2x^2

#5 the answer is C (x-8)/(x+3)

using special products you can factor the numerator

x^2-4x-32 is the same as (x-8)(x+4)

then, using special products you can also factor the denominator

x^2+7x+12 is the same as (x+4)(x+3)

you can see that both the numerator and the denominator is multiplied by (x+4) you can simplify that. That leaves you with (x-8)/(x+3)

#7 the answer is D 3m

in the numerator in the second fraction, you can factor out 5m^2

leaving you with 5m^2(m-6)/5m^2. simplify the 5m^2 and the m-6

after you simplify both of those, you will get 3m

Answer:

D. A translation 1 unit to the right followed by a 270-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin

Step-by-step explanation:

See the picture for better visual

Take segments ST and S'T'. If we extend them they will intersect at right angle.

It is the indication that the rotation is 90° or 270° but not 180°, when the corresponding segments come parallel.

The QRST is in the quadrant IV and Q'R'S'T' is in the quadrant III, which mean the rotation is 90° clockwise or 270° counterclockwise.

This rotation rule is:

(x, y) → (y, -x)

We also see the points S and T have x-coordinate of 5 but their images have y-coordinates of -6. It means the translation to the right by 1 unit was the step before rotation.

We now can conclude the correct choice is D:

A translation 1 unit to the right followed by a 270-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin
