We can solve this by setting up 2 equations. We can use any letters like. For now, I'll use x and y.
So now we know that    x - y = 0.7   and    x + y = 1.
Now we can eliminate one of the letters by adding or subtracting one equation from the other. I am going to eliminate y by adding the two together (the y and the -y cancel).
This gives us   2x = 1.7,    and so x = 1.7 ÷ 2 = 0.85
Finally, we can substitute x for 0.85 back into one of the original equations to figure out what y equals. I'm going to use   x + y = 1.
So now we have    0.85 + y = 1,    so y = 1 - 0.85 = 0.15

The numbers, therefore, are 0.85 and 0.15 (you can check by using the other equation).

Hope this helps!

Which function is a horizontal translation of the parent quadratic function
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) then f(x + a) represents a horizontal translation of f(x)

• If a > 0 then a shift to the left of a units

• If a < 0 then a shift to the right of a units

Thus

g(x) = (x - 4)² represents a horizontal translation to the right of f(x) by 4 units.

Write 1,386 as the product of it prim fa
sweet-ann [11.9K]
I like to start by dividing the given number by 2, unless a larger factor is evident.

1386 = 2(693).  It's pretty obvious that we can divide 693 by 3:  693=3(231).

Then we have 1386 = (2)(3)(231).  Try the same procedure.  Does 231 have any integer, prime factors?  See how far you can take this factoring.

Which expression has a value of 66? A. (16 ÷ 3.2) × 2 + 0.2 × (8 + 82) B. [(16 ÷ 3.2) × (2 + 0.2)] × 8 + 82 C. 16 ÷ [(3.2 × 2) +
Setler [38]

Answer: none

Step-by-step explanation:

(A)

(16÷32/10) ×2 + 0.2×(90)

Using bodmas principle ; solve bracket

(16×10/32)×2 + (2/10×90)

10+18 =28

(B)

{(16÷32/10) × (2+2/10)} ×90

Open brackets

{(16×10/32) × (22/10)} ×90

(5×11/5) ×90

11×90 = 990

(C)

16÷{(32/10×2) + (2/10×8)} +82

Open brackets, solve division first, dolled by addition

16÷(32/5 + 8/5) +82

16÷(40/5) +82

16÷8 +82

2+82= 84

(D)

[16÷(32/10 ×2) + 0.2× (90)]

16÷ (32/5) + 2/10 ×90

Solve division

16×5/32 + 18

5/2 + 18

L.c.m of denominator (2&1) =2

(5+36) / 2 = 41/2

=20.5
