Let x and y be the two numbers. We have:

\begin{cases}x+y=14\\x+2y=25\end{cases}

Subtract the first equation from the second to get

y=11

And deduce

x+11=14 \iff x=3

The two numbers are 3 and 11.

Which of the following is a validation of concurrency between two polygons?
tatiyna
Concurrent validity is a type of evidence that can be gathered to defend the use of a test for predicting other outcomes. It is a parameter used in sociology, psychology, and other psychometric or behavioral sciences. Concurrent validity is demonstrated when a test correlates well with a measure that has previously been validated. The two measures may be for the same construct, but more often used for different, but presumably related, constructs.

The empty jug weighs 0.75 lb

With the 3c, the total weighs 2.25 lb. That means:

3c + empty jug = 3c + 0.75 = 2.25

3c = 2.25 - 0.75
3c = 1.5
 and 1c = 0.5 (so c is a constant -or the slope-)

Then the equation is:

y = 0.5x + 0.75
