Hence, the numbers are 16 and 4

<u>Further Explanation:</u>

First of all we have to make the equations from the word problem.

Let x be the first number and y be the second number.

Then,

The sum of two numbers is 20 => x + y = 20 => Eqn 1

The difference  between three times the first number and  twice the second is 40 => 3x-2y = 40 => Eqn 2

From\ Eqn\ 1\\x+y=20\\y = 20-x\\Putting\ y=20-x\ into\ Eqn\ 2\\3x - 2(20-x) = 40\\3x-40+2x = 40\\5x-40 = 40\\5x = 40+40\\5x = 80\\\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{80}{5} \\x = 16\\y = 20-x\\y=20-16\\y = 4

The numbers can be verified:

x+y = 20\\16+4 =20\\20=20\\

As the equation is verified by the values of x and y.

Hence, the numbers are 16 and 4

What value of x will make the question below truw?
MatroZZZ [7]
1/2 (6x - 10) + 10 = 5x - 13

(6x/2) - (10/2) + 10 = 5x - 13

3x - 5 + 10 = 5x - 13

3x - 5x = -13 + 5 - 10

-2x = -18

x = -18 / -2

x = 9

D.) x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: They cheered 12 rounds. Each round = 8.24

To find the total number, multiply how much one round is with the total number of rounds.

  8.24

×     12

-----------

  1648

+ 8240

----------

98.88

Each girl cheered 98.88 minutes. If you need this estimated, the answer would be 99 minutes.

The first blanks options are -2 , -1/2 , 2 , 1/2
Pie

Answer:

equation 1

y = -2x

equation 2

y = x-3

Solution to both

(1,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to get the equations of both lines

General form is;

y = mx + c

where m is slope and c is the y-intercept

Table 1

since we have a point 0,0; the y-intercept here is zero

Let us get the slope. We can do this by selecting any two points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (2-10)/(-1+5) = -8/4 = -2

So the equation of the first line is;

y = -2x

Table 2

we get the slope

m = (4+2)/(7-1) = 6/6 = 1

The partial equation is;

y = x + c

To get c, we select any two point and substitute

4 = 7 + c

c = 4-7

c = -3

So the equation is;

y = x-3

To get the solution to both systems, we equate the y

-2x = x - 3

-2x-x = -3

-3x = -3

x = -3/-3

x = 1

To get y, we substitute;

recall; y = -2x

y = -2(1)

y = -2

Solution to the system is;

(1,-2)
