Their common desire to destroy the ambitions of Prussia and Great Britain and to secure a definitive peace between their respective countries led them to seal their alliance with a marriage
So the two numbers can be represented as x and y
so x is first and y is second
y=2(x)-8
so y=2x-8
IF THEY ARE CONSECUTIVE
If they are consecutive numbers then
x+1=y
subtitute
x+1=2x-8
subtract x from both sides
1=x-8
add 8 to both sides and get
9=x
put it into the equation and get
y=2(9)-8
y=18-8
y=10
so x=9
y=10
IF X AND Y ARE CONSECUTIVE INTEGERS (1,2,3,4 not 2.3 or 1,3,5,8)
Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
We will find the rate of Greg and Josh earning money that is
the amount of money they receive per unit time (hour)
Since the trip is in 3 weeks,
Number of hours Josh worked = 3 weeks * (5 hours/week) = 15
hours
Number of hours Greg worked = 3 weeks * (8 hours/week) = 24
hours
Josh’s rate = $480/15 hrs = $32/hr
Greg’s rate = $480/24 hrs = $20/hr
Therefore
Josh makes $12/hr more than Greg
Answer:
A. Both functions are positive and decreasing on the interval.
Step-by-step explanation:
The table shows that f(x) decreases when x increases in the interval (0,3).
All the values of f(x) are positive in the interval (0,3).
For the exponential function that passes through the points (0, 27) and (3, 0), we also see that f(x) is decreasing when x increases: when x goes from 0 to 3, f(x) goes from 27 to 0.
Also all the values of f(x) are positive in the interval.
Then, both functions are positive and dereasing in the interval.
