Ok so we have 2 equations here...

x + y = 76
1/3x + 1/2y = 34

First solve for x in the 1st equation...

x + y = 76
x = 76 - y

Now substitute 76-y for x in the 2nd equation...

1/3x + 1/2y = 34
1/3(76-y) + 1/2y = 34
76/3 - 1/3y + 1/2y = 34
-1/3y + 1/2y = 34 - 76/3
-2/6y + 3/6y = 34 - 25 1/3
1/6y = 8 2/3
y = 8 2/3 ÷ 1/6
y = 8 2/3 × 6
y = 52

Now substitute 52 into the 1st equation for y

x + y = 76
x + 52 = 76
x = 76 - 52
x = 24

The 2 numbers are 24 and 52.

The difference between the numbers is
52 - 24 = 28

John has × marbles and max has twice as many.max give gives john 5 of his marbles does max now have
rjkz [21]

Answer: 2x -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write equations with the information given:

  • <em>John has × marbles  </em>

John=x

  • <em>Max has twice (multiplied by 2) as many.max give gives john 5 of his marbles. </em>

We have to multiply by 2 the number of marbles that John has (x), and subtract 5.  

Max = 2x -5

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Consider the graph of the linear function h(x) = –6 + x. Which quadrant will the graph not go through and why?
Lesechka [4]
H ( x ) = - 6 + x
m = 1 ( the slope )
b = - 6 ( y - intercept )
x - intercept: 
0 = - 6 + x
x = 6 
The graph is going through Quadrants:  I, II and IV.
Answer:
B ) Quadrant II, because the slope is positive and y-intercept is negative.

Find k so that the following function is continuous:<br> f(x)={kx8x2if0≤x&lt;5if5≤x.
tankabanditka [31]

Check the one-sided limits:

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to5^-}f(x) = \lim_{x\to5}kx = 5k

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to5^+}f(x) = \lim_{x\to5}8x^2 = 200

If <em>f(x)</em> is to be continuous at <em>x</em> = 5, then these two limits should have the same value, which means

5<em>k</em> = 200

<em>k</em> = 200/5

<em>k</em> = 40
