Let the two numbers be x and y
Then
x + y = 60
And
x - y = 2
x = y + 2
Putting the value of x in the first equation we get
x + y = 60
y + 2 + y= 60
2y + 2 = 60
2y = 60 - 2
2y = 58
y = 58/2
y = 29
Now putting the value of y in the first equation we get
x + y = 60
x + 29 = 60
x = 60 - 29
x = 31
So the value of the two numbers comes out to be 31 and 29. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

53 pts!! The function f(x)= 7^x+1 is transformed to function g through a horizontal compression by a factor of 3. What is the eq

e-lub [12.9K]

The value of k will be 3 if the function is transformed by compression factor of 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The horizontal stretch or compression for a function f(x) is given by g = f(bx) where b is a constant. If b> 0 then the graph of function is compressed.

As it is given in the question that he function is transformed by a compression factor of 3.

Given function

$f(x) = 7^x+1\\To\ transform\\g = f(bx)\\g = 7^{3x}+1$

The value of k will be 3 if the function is transformed by compression factor of 3

What happens to a rectangular prism when the length and width are both doubled and the height is trippled

torisob [31]

If you double the width you make a similar prism with a scale factor of two, the surface area of the similar prism will increase as the square of the scale factor
