Answer:

(x, y) = (3, 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given variable definitions, we can write the equations ...

y = x + 9

2(x +y) = 30

Solving the second equation for y, we have ...

y = 15 -x

Substituting this into the first equation gives ...

15 -x = x +9

6 = 2x . . . . . . . . . add x-9

3 = x . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

y = 3+9 = 12 . . . . substitute into the first equation

The numbers are (x, y) = (3, 12).

Answer:

b) y = 2/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope (m) formula: $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

I will be using (3,2) and (-3,-2) to find the slope:

$m=\frac{-2-2}{-3-3}\\m=\frac{-4}{-6} \\m = \frac{2}{3}$

$y = mx + b\\y = \frac{2}{3}x+b$

(3,2)

$y = \frac{2}{3}x+b\\\\2 = \frac{2}{3}(3)+b\\\\2 = 2+b\\-2 -2\\\\0=b$

$y=mx+b\\\\y = \frac{2}{3}x+0\\\\y = \frac{2}{3}x$

Hope this helps!

There were two containers of oil. There was twice as much oil in the second container as in the first one. After using 13 liters

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

48 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

First container = x

Second container has twice as much oil.

Second container = 2x

13 liters of oil was used from first container.

x - 13

7 liters of oil was used from the second container.

2x - 7

Second container has 3 times more oil than the first one.

2x - 7 = 3(x - 13)

x - 7 = 3(x - 13)

x - 7 = 3x - 39

2x = 32

x = 16

First container = 16 liters

second container = 16 x 2 = 32 liters

Total = 16 + 32 = 48 liters
