Answer:

7 and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be a and b.

<u>A positive number is 7 times another number:</u>

  • a = 7b

<u>If 3 is added to both the numbers then one of the new number becomes 5 by 2 times the other new number:</u>

  • a+3 = 5/2 × (b +3)

<u>To solve this we substitute </u><u>a</u><u> with </u><u>7b</u><u> in the second equation:</u>

  • 7b + 3 = 5/2 × (b +3)               ⇒ multiplying both sides by 2
  • 14b + 6 = 5b + 15                    ⇒ collecting like terms
  • 14b - 5b = 15 - 6
  • 9b = 9
  • b = 1                                        ⇒ solved for b

<u>Then, finding a:</u>

  • a= 7b
  • a=7*1
  • a= 7                                        ⇒ solved for a

<u>So the numbers are</u> 7 and 1

What is the perpendicular distance from the line y= 2x-3 to the point (8,3)
Liula [17]
Find the perpendicular line then find the intersection then find the point

perpendicular lines have slopes that are perpendicular
the slopes multiply bo -1

y=mx+b
m=slope
y=2x-3
2 is slope

2 times what=-1
what=-1/2


the equation is
y-3=-1/2(x-8) or
y=(-1/2)x+7

find intersection
at (4,5)
distance bwetweeen (8,3) and (4,5)
D=\sqrt{(8-4)^2+(3-5)^2}
D=\sqrt{(4)^2+(-2)^2}
D=\sqrt{16+4}
D=\sqrt{20}
D=2√5
distance= 2√5

Find the x and y intercepts of the graph of the function
Mkey [24]

Answer:

y intercepts= 0       x intercepts= none

nation:

The 2 funtions above the x axis do not intercept with the y-axis or the x-axis. They just hover above it, but never atcually touch it.

The function bellow the x-axis only intercepts the y-axis at 0,0
