Let x , y be the numbers;
We have the equation: x + y = 36 and x = 3y - 4 ;
Then, 3y - 4 + y = 36;
4y - 4 = 36 ;
4y = 40;
y = 40 ÷ 4;
y = 10 ;
x = 36 - 10 ;
x = 26;

Find the slope that is perpendicular to the graph of the equation y-2x=-5
Sloan [31]
We can rearrange the initial equation to y=mx+b

y=2x-5

Since perpendicular slopes must equal -1,
x=the perpendicular slope
2x=-1
x=-1/2

(Or you can just take the negative reciprocal above is just the "formula form" for it)

Therefore, the perpendicular slope is -1/2

Ne4ueva [31]

I'm sorry, I didn't fully understand your question, but if it is What is the percent of liberal in State B the answer is 60%

x% * 35 = 21

x/100 * 35 = 21

35x/100 = 21

35x = 2100

x = 2100/35

x = 60

or 60 %

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x + 17
IgorC [24]

To find the inverse of a function switch the place of y (aka f(x) ) with x. Then solve for y.

Original equation:

y = 2x + 17

Switched:

x = 2y + 17

Solve for y by isolating it:

x - 17 = 2y + 17 - 17

x - 17 = 2y

(x - 17)/2 = 2y/2

\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{17}{2}= y

Hope this helped!

GenaCL600 [577]
1 \frac{2}{3} + 2 \frac{1}{3} + 2 \frac{2}{3} =

\frac{3*1+2}{3} +  \frac{3*2+1}{3} +  \frac{3*2+2}{3} =

\frac{3+2}{3} +  \frac{6+1}{3} +  \frac{6+2}{3} =

\frac{5}{3} + \frac{7}{3} + \frac{8}{3} =

=  \frac{20}{3} h

In hours:

20 |_3
