Difference between x and y is 25
lets say x is bigger
x-y=25

smaller is 1/6 of larger
y=x/6

sub x/6 for y in other equation
x-(x/6)=25
times both sides by 6
6x-x=150
5x=150
divide both sides by 5
x=30

y=x/6
y=30/6
y=5

the smaller number is 5

Simplify. Explanation if you can.
leonid [27]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

This expression uses the idea of exponential edition.  The basis is, when you have the same base number being multiplied, you can add the exponentials.  

Consider the case of 2 * 2.  We know this to be 4.  When writing 2 * 2, you can write this as 2^1 * 2^1 == 2^(1+1) == 2^2 == 4.  See how we added the powers to get the new exponential?

We will apply this same idea here.

10^(1/2) * 10^(1/2) == 10^(1/2 + 1/2) == 10^(1) == 10.

So, the simplified expression is 10.

Cheers.

Here's a graph of a linear function. Write the
makkiz [27]

Answer:

y = x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Pick two points on the line

(0,-2) and (2,0)

We can find the slope

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

   = (0--2)/(2-0)

   = (0+2)/(2-0)

   2/2

  =

We know the y intercept is -2 (  where it crosses the y axis)

y = mx +b is the slope intercept form of the equation  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 1x -2

y = x-2
