Answer:

<u>The smaller number is 8 and the bigger number is 13</u>

<u>The correct equation form is B. 2x + 5 = 3x - 3</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Smaller number = x

Bigger number = x + 5

Sum of the numbers = x + x + 5 = 3 - 3x

Let's solve the equation for the sum:

x + x + 5 = 3x - 3

2x + 5 = 3x - 3

2x - 3x = - 3 - 5 (Subtracting 5 at both sides)

-x = - 8

x = 8 (Multiplying by - 1 at both sides)

<u>The smaller number is 8 and the bigger number is 13</u>

<u>The correct answer is B. 2x + 5 = 3x - 3</u>

If the radius of mars is about 13.7% of neptune's radius, what is the radius of neptune?
Gnesinka [82]

You said that                                 M is 13.7% of N

In algebraic notation                    M  =  0.137 N

Divide each side by  0.137 :      N  =  M / 0.137  =  7.3 M (rounded)

Online or in a real book, you can look up the radius of Mars.
Then write it in place of 'M' in this solution, and you'll have
an actual number for the radius of Neptune.

Math help again please

Hey there! :D

First, find the slope. 

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) I'm using points (0,3) and (1,5)

m=(5-3)/(1-0)
m= 2/1
m=2

Now, plug that into point slope. Use point (1,5) m=2

y-y1= m(x-x1)

y-5= 2(x-1)

Distribute. 

y-5=2x-2

Add 5 to both sides.

y=2x+3 == equation of the line in slope intercept form. y=mx+b

I hope this helps!

If gasoline cost $2.24, and you travel 738 miles in an SUV that gets 18 miles per gallon. What is the total cost of gasoline rou
drek231 [11]
You first divide 738 miles by 18 miles per gallon, which says you must get 1 gallon of gas 41 times. Then multiply 41 by $2.24 to get $91.84. Round it to the nearest cent $91.80
