Answer:
first number(x) = 2 second number(y)= 6
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an example of a simultaneous equation.
First write this word problem as equations, where x is the "first number" that you've mentioned and y is the "second number".
x + 2y = 14 (equation 1)
2x + y = 10 (equation 2)
This is solved using the elimination method.
We need to make one of the coefficients the same - in this case we can make y the same. In order to do this we need to multiply equation 2 by 2, so that y becomes 2y.
2x + y = 10 MULTIPLY BY 2
4x + 2y = 20 (this is now our new equation 2 with the same y coefficient)
Now subtract equation 1 from equation 2.
4x - x + 2y - 2y = 20 - 14 (2y cancels out here)
3x = 6
x = 2
Now we substitute our x value into equation 1 to find the value of y.
2 + 2y = 14
2y = 12
y = 6
Hope this has answered your question.
The answer is
-10=-15+5x
x = 1
5. You have correctly shown the decimal equivalents of the numbers in selection C. Those are in order. The decimal equivalents for selection D would be
... -1.33, -2.00, -1.00, -0.08, -0.07
The first of these is greater than the second of these, so this list is not in order. The correct choice is D.
6. √169 = 13, the only rational number in the lot. The correct choice is C.
8. All the numbers except the ones with radicals are rational numbers, so the appropriate choice is the one that lists the radicals only: G.
9. You have correctly plotted the points. When you connect them to make a geometric figure, you get a triangle that is 6 units high and 6 units wide. Its area will be half that of a square that is 6×6, so is 18 square units.
_____
The formula for the area of a triangle is
... A = (1/2)bh
where b is the base length of the triangle (6 units), and h is the height (6 units). Filling in the numbers you have, this is
... A = (1/2)·6·6 = 18 . . . . square units.
When you have a plot like this on a graph, it is usually pretty easy to see that the triangle area is half the area of a rectangle (or square) with the same height and width.
As a percent is out of 100% or 1 (as a whole number), the best thing to do is multiply it by ten, until you get a whole number. As you cannot have a decimal in a percentage. 2.45x10= 24.5. This is still a decimal, so you need to multiply it be ten again, 24.5x10= 245.
Therefore, 2.45 is a percent is 245%
