Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the larger number be represented by x
Let the smaller number be represented by y
from the question, the next equations can be gotten :
x - y = 9 equation 1
x = 1 + 2y equation 2
Substitute for x in equation 1
1 + 2y - y = 9
1 + y = 9
Collect like terms
y = 9 - 1
y = 8
Substitute for y in equation 1 and solve for x (the larger number)
x - 8 = 9
x = 9 + 8
x = 17
A reflection through the axis and is given by the following transformation rule:
(x, y) -------> (-x, y)
We have the following point:
C = (5, 3)
Applying the transformation rule we have:
(5, 3) -------> (-5, 3)
Therefore, C' is given by:
C '= (- 5, 3)
Answer:
(-5, 3)
Answer:
2.8 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance = rate * time
If the west-bound train travels at a rate of 80 mph for t hours, then the distance it travels is 80t.
If the east-bound train travels at a rate of 90 mph for t hours, then the distance it travels is 90t.
The distance between the trains after t hours is 476; therefore, the distance of the west-bound train plus the distance of the east-bound train equals the total distance between them, 476:
80t + 90t = 476 and
170t = 476 so
t = 2.8 hours
Answer:
25.2 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The short piece will have a length that is 2/(2+3) = 2/5 of the entire usable length. The usable length is 60-2 = 58 inches long, so the cut will be ...
(2/5)(58 in) = 23 1/5 in
from the beginning of the usable part. Since the usable part of the ribbon starts 2 inches in, the cut will be 23 1/5 + 2 = 25 1/5 inches from the frayed end of the ribbon.
