Answer:

Numbers are 6 and 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers are 'a' and 'b'.

"Sum of these numbers = 23"

a + b = 23 --------(1)

"One number is 7 less than 4 times the other"

a = 4b - 7 ---------(2)

Substitute the value of 'a' in equation (1) from equation (2)

(4b - 7) + b = 23

5b - 7 = 23

5b = 23 + 7

5b = 30

b = 6

From equation (2),

a = 4b - 7

a = 4×6 - 7

a = 24 - 7

a = 17

Therefore, the numbers are 6 and 17.

Can i get help with math? (picture provided) grade 9<br>13-18 ​
asambeis [7]

Answer:

I dont know what you are supposed to answer with but I'll try to help you out. I take it that you have to find the letter ex. the letter <em>d</em> in 1/<em>2d</em> = 7. What you have to do is to get the <em>d</em> by itself and in order to do that you must move the 1/2 over to the 7. So what you would have to do is take the fraction that has the letter on it and move it to the whole number side or the side without the letter but without moving the <em>d</em><em>.</em><em> </em>The <em>d</em> stays on one side while the other numbers are on the other side. When you move the 1/2 over it should look like this sort of due to the limitations of only being able to use text: <em>d</em> = 7 ÷ 1/2. Now after that you have to divide 7 by 1/2 or .5 for question 13 in this instance. Your answer for 13 should be this: <em>d</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>4.5</em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em>Make</em><em> </em><em>sure</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>show</em><em> </em><em>all</em><em> </em><em>your</em><em> </em><em>work</em><em> </em><em>just</em><em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>case.</em>

13. <em>d</em> = 4.5

14. 18 = <em>f</em>

<em>1</em><em>5</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em>9</em><em> </em>=<em> </em><em>s</em>

<em>1</em><em>6</em><em>.</em><em> </em>-24 = <em>r</em>

17. 0.125 = <em>y</em>

18. -3 = <em>v</em>

Hope I could help as I am also a fellow 9th grader

How to change 7/10 to a percent
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

70%

Step-by-step explanation:

since 7/10 is 0.7 as a decimal

you can then turn it into a percent by moving the decimal point two spots to the right

70 --> 70%

another way to do it is, to add zeros on both the numerator and denominator

then it is valued at 70/100

a percent is a number over 100

70 ---> 70%

your answer is 70%

hope this helps

What is the rate of change of the linear function represented by the table? StartFraction one Over three EndFraction StartFracti
Lynna [10]

The rate of change of the linear function represented by the table is 3

<h3>Rate of change of a function</h3>

The rate of change of a function is also known as the slope of a function. The equation for calculating the slope is expressed as:

Slope = y2-y1/x2-x1

using the coordinates from the table (-2, -13) and (-1, -10)

Substitute

Slope = -10-(-13)/-1-(-2)

Slope = -10+13/-1+2

Slope =3

Hence the rate of change of the linear function represented by the table is 3
