The sum of two numbers is 67. The larger number is 4 more than 2 times the smaller. What are the two numbers?

1 answer:

X,y - two numbers (x > y)

(1) x + y = 67 ⇒ x = 67 - y
(2) x - 4 = 2y

subtitute (1) to (2)

67 - y - 4 = 2y
63 - y = 2y |add y to both sides
63 = 3y |divide both sides by 3
y = 21

subtitute the value of y to (1)

x = 67 - 21 = 46

Answer: 21 and 46.

A bag holds 11 beads. 7 are red, the rest are white. Two beads are taken at random from the bag. What is the probability that on

babunello [35]

Answer:

The probability of the first draw is 100%, because the bead will be either red or white. For the second draw, a different color must be drawn.

So, if draw 1 is white, then the probability of draw 2 being red is 7/10. and if the first draw is red, then the probability of draw two being white is 5/10.

what is the rate of change for the linear relationship modeled in the table? x y −1 10 1 9 3 8 5 7 -1/2 0 1/2 2

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Rate of change for the linear relationship modeled is $\dfrac{-1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

As the there is a linear relationship in the points, so all these points will be on a single straight line. Hence the slope will be same throughout all the points.

We know that, the slope of the line joining (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is,

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$
