So, for the first variable, you would use x, and for the second, y. Then, you would write out 2-(3y)=14. once this is done, youd simplify to 2-3y=14. Subtract 2 from both sides to get 3y=12. Then, divide both sides by 3. this will leave you with y=4. From this you can see the other number is ten. Hope this helped! and i apologize if it is incorrect!

Students are painting a mural. So far the mural is painted 1/4 blue 2/8 red and 3/12 green. Use fraction strips to determine how

nirvana33 [79]

If you make the denominators all the same, the fractions are 3/12 , 3/12 , and 3/12. Then by simply adding them together you get that the mural is 9/12 painted. that then simplifies to 3/4 or 75%

Hope this helps :)

Y=sech(tan‐¹x) find the derivative

Klio2033 [76]

Recall that

d/dx sech(x) = - sech(x) tanh(x)

d/dx tan⁻¹(x) = 1/(1 + x²)

Then by the chain rule,

dy/dx = - sech(x) tanh(x) / (1 + x²)
