One number is 16 more than a second number. The sum of the first number and twice the second number is 139. What is the answer ?

1 answer:

4 0

Answer first number = 57 second number = 41
x= 16 + y
x + 2y = 139

16+ y + 2y =139
16 + 3y =139
16-16 +3y = 139-16
3y = 123
3/3y = 123/3
y= 41

x= 16+y
x = 16+41
x= 57

The answer is B. First turn all the results from the spelling competition into fractions (or ratios).
Megan: 45/50 = 9/10
Justin: 27/30 = 9/10
Fernando: 84/120 = 7/10
Then, use this information to find which answer is correct.
Have a nice day! :)

Simplify 2 + 3/5x - 1 - 1/5x

tankabanditka [31]

The answer would be c. because 2-1= 1 and 3/5x - 1/5x= 2/5x. All adding up to 1+2/5x.

How do you Graph y-3=1/3(x+1)

jekas [21]

Answer:

You can find the point of intersection of the line with the y-axis and the the point of intersection of the line with the x-axis. See the graph attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the intersection with the y-axis. Substitute $x=0$ into the equation and solve for y:

$y-3=\frac{1}{3}(x+1)\\\\y-3=\frac{1}{3}(0+1)\\\\y-3=\frac{1}{3}(1)\\y=\frac{1}{3}+3\\\\y=\frac{10}{3}$

$y$ ≈3.33

Find the intersection with the x-axis. Substitute $y=0$ into the equation and solve for x:

$y-3=\frac{1}{3}(x+1)$

$0-3=\frac{1}{3}(x+1)\\(-3)(3)=x+1\\-9-1=x\\x=-10$

Now, you know that the line passes through the point (0,3.33) and (-10,0). Now you can graph the function. (Observe the graph attached)
