Not sure what the extra numbers and equation are, but I'll just solve it.*Note* first number and second number isn't really assigned, just shows one of the numbers of the two*
F= first number
S= second number
F+S=78
F-S= 32
Now, you want to eliminate F, so you'll multiply the first equation by -1
-(F+S=78)
F-S=32
-F-S=-78
F-S=32
-2S=-46
S=23
Now plug in the number to one of the equations.
F+23=78
78-23= 55
The two numbers are 55 and 23.

Someone help please! Determine the intercept of the line that passes through the following points ​
storchak [24]

Answer:

x: (-5.0)

y: (0, -17.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept of the line is when y=0. In the table is the point (-5,0). This is the x-intercept.

To find the y-intercept, find when x=0. Write an equation for the table in y=mx + b. Find the slope between two points first.

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{7-0}{-7--5} =\frac{7}{-7+5}=-\frac{7}{2} = -3.5

The slope is -3.5. So the equation is

y - 7 = -3.5(x--7)

y - 7 = -3.5 (x+7)

y - 7 = -3.5x - 24.5

y = 3.5x - 17.5

Since it is in y=mx+b, b= -17.5 and this is the y-intercept.

Algebraically find three consecutive positive integers such that the square of the first is equal to the third.
dexar [7]
Your numbers are 2, 3, 4.

The three consecutive numbers are x, x+1, x+2
The square of the first equals the third so x^2=x+2
Solve this quadratic as x^2-x-2=0
Factor into (x+1)(x-2)=0
So your answers are x=-1 and x=2
Since the question says they’re positive integers, use x=2
So the numbers are 2, 3, 4
