Answer:

35.34 and 16.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the numbers be x and y

the smaller number = x

the larger number = y

x+y=52--------1

<em>The larger number is 2 less than twice the smaller number</em>

y=2x-2-------2

put y= 2x-2 in eqn 1

x+2x-2=52

3x-2=52

3x=52-2

3x=50

x= 50/3

x= 16.66

put x=16.66 in eqn 1 to find y

x+y=52

16.66+y= 52

y=52-16.66

y= 35.34

Hence the numbers are

35.34 and 16.66

Check

35.34+16.66= 52

A large container holds 5 gallons of water. It begins leaking at a constant rate. After 10 minutes, the container has 3 gallons
Anna007 [38]
5 - 10 x = 3
10 x = 5 - 3
10 x = 2
x = 10 : 5
x = 0.2
The rate is : 0.2 gallons / minute
5 - t * 0.2 = 0
t * 0.2 = 5
t = 5 : 0.2
t = 25 min
Answer: After 25 minutes the container will be empty.

Write a equation of the lines passes through the given points (-2,7) (1,1) the equation is?
vredina [299]

The point-slope form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

m - slope

(x₁, y₁) - point

The formula of a slope:

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

We have the points (-2, 7) and (1, 1). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{1-7}{1-(-2)}=\dfrac{-6}{3}=-2

y-7=-2(x-(-2))\\\\\boxed{y-7=-2(x+2)}   <em>point-slope form</em>

\boxed{y=-2x+3}     <em> slope-intercept form</em>

\boxed{2x+y=3}       <em>standard form</em>
