Hmmm assuming you meant "is 18 less than the larger number".

let's say the numbers are "a" and "b".

a = smaller number
b = larger number

a = b - 18

\bf \begin{cases}
a+b=62\\
\boxed{a}=b-18\\
----------\\
\left( \boxed{b-18} \right)+b=62
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
2b-18=62\implies 2b=80\implies b=\cfrac{80}{2}\implies b=40

what's a?  well, a = b - 18.

Answer---&gt;x/3<br>Process?​
Komok [63]

Step-by-step explanation:

2x/3 - x/3 = x/3

they both have the same denominators (number at the bottom of the fraction) so all you have to do it subtract the numerators (top of the fraction) together. 2x-x =x, that's why it's x on the numerator for the answer

hope this helps

What is the domain of f(x)=-5x+4
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

f(x) = -5x + 4

Domain refers to the values of x that would result to  a defined value of y. Since the given f(x) is a linear function, then all the values of x would give a corresponding value of y. So, the domain of f(x)=-5x+4 are all real numbers.

Or, plot the given equation to check.

The graph of f(x)=-5x+4 is shown below.

Since the graph is a straight line and can be extended continuously on both ends,  this indicates that every values of x, there is a corresponding value of y.

Hence, the domain of the given function are all real numbers.Step-by-step explanation:

Exercise 1:
 
exponential decay:
 The function is given by:
 y = A (b) ^ ((1/3) * t)
 Where,
 A = 600
 We look for b:
 (480/600) * (100) = 80%
 b = 0.8
 Substituting:
 y = 600 * (0.8) ^ ((1/3) * t)
 We check for t = 6
 y = 600 * (0.8) ^ ((1/3) * 6)
 y = 384
 Answer:
 
exponential decay:
 
y = 600 * (0.8) ^ ((1/3) * t)
 Exercise 2:
 
linear:
 The function is given by:
 y = ax + b
 Where,
 a = -60 / 2 = -30
 b = 400
 Substituting we have:
 y = -30 * x + 400
 We check for x = 4
 y = -30 * 4 + 400
 y = 280
 Answer:
 
linear:
 
y = -30 * x + 400
 Exercise 3:
 
exponential growth:
 The function is given by:
 y = A (b) ^ ((1/3) * t)
 Where,
 A = 512
 We look for b:
 (768/512) * (100) = 150%
 b = 1.5
 Substituting:
 y = 512 * (1.5) ^ ((1/2) * t)
 We check for t = 4
 y = 512 * (1.5) ^ ((1/2) * 4)
 y = 1152
 Answer:
 
exponential growth:
 
y = 512 * (1.5) ^ ((1/2) * t)
