The sum of two positive numbers is 5 times their difference.

X + Y = 5 ( X - Y)
X + Y = 5X - 5Y
-4X = -6Y
4X = 6Y
X = 6/4 = 3/2
Y = 4/6 = 2/3

The ratio of the larger number to the smallest number is 3/2

A baseball team wants a pitcher no more 150 innings during a season. So far, the pitcher has pitched <img src="https://tex.z-dn.
butalik [34]

Answer:

C. 6 because any answer besides that is too low or too high.

Step-by-step explanation:

110.25 pitches so far- 150 at max. 5.75 pitches per game.

4: 4x5.75 = 23

110.25 + 23 = 133.25

5. 5x5.75 = 28.75

110.25 + 28.75 = 139

6: 6x5.75 = 34.5

110.25 + 34.5 = 144.75

7: 7x5.75 = 40.25

110.25 + 40.25 = 150.50 > which rounds up to 151

Are these lines parallel perpendicular or neither
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

start but putting each line into the standard line format

2x-y=-5

-y=-2x-5

y=2x+5

x+2y=-6

2y=-x-6

y=-(1/2)x-3

if lines are parallel the slopes would be the same. 2 is not equal to -1/2

if lines are perpendicular the slope of one would be the opposite inverse of the other.

negative inverse of 2 = - (1/2)

so the lines are perpendicular

Lerok [7]
She spent $23.25, how I got my answer.

I divided $13.50÷2=$6.75 then I added $6.75+3=$9.75 then I added $9.75+$13.50=$23.25.

I hope this helps.
