Answer:

The two numbers are 39 and 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find these numbers, set the first number equal to x. Then the second number can be described as x - 12. Using these two terms, you can add them together and set equal to 66.

x + x - 12 = 66

2x - 12 = 66

2x = 78

x = 39

Given this as the first number, put into the second equation to find the next.

x - 12

(39) - 12

27

What is the first step when rewriting y=6x^2+18x+14 in the form y=a(x-h)^2+k?
Grace [21]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Factor 6 from the first two terms.

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

By factoring out "a", you can better see what "h" needs to be.

  1. y = 6(x^2 +3x) +14 . . . . 6 factored from first 2 terms
  2. add the square of half the x-coefficient inside parentheses; add the opposite outside: y = 6(x^2 +3x +2.25) +14 -6(2.25)
  3. rewrite as a square; combine the constants: y = 6(x+1.5)^2 +0.5

If anyone Answer this question with POLITICALLY CORRECT answer I'll give you 25+ Points
Tresset [83]

Answer:

\sqrt[4]{x^5}

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction exponent converts into a radical. The denominator is the index of the radical (farthest left number) and the numerator is the exponent of the base inside (the farthest right number). The base of the fraction exponent is the base number in green. To write this expression, simply the exponents into one exponent and one base.

x^{\frac{3}{4}}x^{\frac{1}{2} } =x^{\frac{3}{4}}x^{\frac{2}{4} } =x^{\frac{3+2}{4}} =x^{\frac{5}{4}}

Now convert to the radical.

x^{\frac{5}{4}} = \sqrt[4]{x^5}

Person A buys 12 granola bars and 7 cups of yogurt for $15.50. Person B buys 6 granola bars and 11 cups of yogurt for $11.50. Fi
ExtremeBDS [4]
<span>Granola bars cost $1 each and the yogurt is $.50 per cup. If we plug this in to each equation, you'll see that 12 granola bars equals $12, and 7 cups of yogurt equals $3.50, for a total of $15.50. The second statement would yield $6 + $5.50, which equals $11.50.</span>
