Answer:

  • The smaller number  ⇒ y = 36
  • The larger number ⇒ x = y + 12 = 36 + 12 = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let the larger number be = x
  • Let the smaller number be = y

As the larger number is twelve more  than a smaller, so

x = y + 12

As the sum of larger and smaller numbers is 84, so

x + y = 84

now substituting x = y + 12 in th equation x + y = 84

x + y = 84

(y + 12) + y = 84

2y + 12 = 84

subtract 12 from both sides

2y + 12 - 12 = 84 - 12

2y = 72

divide both sides by 2

2y/2 = 72/2

y = 36

Thus,

  • The smaller number  ⇒ y = 36
  • The larger number ⇒ x = y + 12 = 36 + 12 = 48

1. using 2 dots that are on the blue line (0,72) and (6,69)
find the slope:

slope = change in Y over change in x = 69 - 72 / 6-0 = -3 / 6 = -1/2
 equation would be y = -1/2x + 72

2. y = -1/2x+72 = -1/2(30) +72 = -15 +72 = 57 beats per minute

3. replaced x in the equation with 30 to find the beats per minute for exercising 30 minutes

Answer:

14 boys paid for the full year fee and 4 boys paid for the partial year fee

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations, where x is the number that paid for the $24 fee and y is the number that paid for the $16 fee:

24x + 16y = 400

x = y + 10

Solve by substitution by plugging in y + 10 as x:

24x + 16y = 400

24(y + 10) + 16y = 400

Solve for y:

24y + 240 + 16y = 400

40y + 240 = 400

40y = 160

y = 4

Then, plug in 4 as y to find x:

x = y + 10

x = 4 + 10

x = 14

So, 14 boys paid for the full year fee and 4 boys paid for the partial year fee.
