Answer:

The numbers are 39 and 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1, sum of the numbers:

x + y = 53

Equation 2, difference of the numbers:

x - y = 25

System of equations:

x + y = 53

x - y = 25

----------------

2x = 78

x = 39

Solve for y:

39 + y = 53

y = 14

The numbers are 39 and 14.

If r is ten more than the square root of l , then r = A) l2 + 10 B) (l + 10)2 C) l + 10 D) l + 10 E) l + 10

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

$r=\sqrt {I}+10$

Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to know the square root of I then add 10 on that square root since r is 10 more than the square root of I

Therefore,

$r=\sqrt {I}+10$

Quadratic equation. Find the value of m so that the roots of the equation (4 - m) x^2 + (2m + 4)x + (8m + 1) = 0 may be equal.

nikitadnepr [17]

The quadratic has one root with multiplicity 2 if the discriminant is 0, which is

$(2m+4)^2-4(4-m)(8m+1)$

(That is, for a quadratic $ax^2+bx+c$ , the discriminant is $b^2-4ac$ .)

Set the discriminant equal to 0 and solve for $m$ :

$(2m+4)^2-4(4-m)(8m+1)=0$

$4m^2+16m+16+32m^2-124m-16=0$

$36m^2-108=0$

$36m(m-3)=0$

$\implies m=0\text{ or }m=3$

Can you help me solve y=-3x-2 (-7x-6y=-10

navik [9.2K]

$y=-3x-2\\-7x-6y=-10\\\\
-7x-6(-3x-2)=-10\\
-7x+18x+12=-10\\
11x=-22\\
x=-2\\\\y=-3\cdot(-2)-2\\y=6-2\\y=4$

HELP ASAP!! WILL GIVE 25 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST.

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

As shown in picture,

Option 2 is correct.

Horizontal asymptote at y = 0 (graph approaches to 0 when x at -infinity and + infinity)

Option 4 is correct.

Vertical asymptote at x = 6 ( graph goes to infinity when x = 6)

Option 5 is correct.

Vertical asymptote at x = -4 ( graph goes to infinity when x = -4)

Hope this helps!
