Translate to a system of equations:

Mathematics
1 answer:
omeli [17]3 years ago

Answer:

m + n = 15

m - 3 = n

The numbers are 9 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

The sum of two numbers is fifteen; the first number is m and the second number is n. To translate to a system of equations, we can write that

m + n = 15 ..... (1)

Also, from the question,

One number is three less than the other,

Also, to translate to a system of equations, we can write that

m - 3 = n ...... (2)

If desired, we can determine m and n

From equation (1)

m + n = 15

Then,

m = 15 - n ...... (3)

Put the value of m in equation (3) into equation (2)

m - 3 = n

Then

15 - n - 3 = n

15 - 3 = n + n

12 = 2n

n = 12/2

∴ n = 6

For m, put the value of n into equation 3

m = 15 - n

m = 15 - 6

m = 9

∴ m = 9 and n = 6

Hence, the numbers are 9 and 6

The measures of the angles of ABC are given by the expressions in the table A( 6X - 1 ) ° B 20° C ( x + 14 ) ° what are the meas
lawyer [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. This means that in triangle ABC,

Angle A + angle B + angle C = 180

Therefore,

6x - 1 + 20 + x + 14 = 180

6x + x + 20 + 14 - 1 = 180

7x + 33 = 180

Subtracting 33 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

7x + 33 - 33 = 180 - 33

7x = 147

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 7, it becomes

7x/7 = 147/7

x = 21

Therefore

Angle A = 6x - 1 = 6 × 21 - 1

Angle A = 125 degrees

Angle C = x + 14 = 21 + 14

Angle C = 35 degrees.

The answer is choice B
y > (2/3)x + 1

The boundary line is the equation y = (2/3)x + 1 which can be found through the slope formula to get m = 2/3. Then you use one of the two points on the line to find b = 1. 

The equal sign in y = (2/3)x + 1 changes to a "greater than" sign to indicate two things
A) The shaded region is above the boundary line
B) The boundary line itself is a dashed line to indicate "no solution points on this line"

Solve using system of equations!
Let y=total amount of money and x=hours of overtime.
mall: y=400+15x
movies: y=360+20x
Solve! Set the equations equal to each other to find x.
400+15x=360+20x
40=5x
x=8
After 8 hours of overtime the movies would pay her more.
