Answer:

x = 18 y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first number be x

let the second number be y

x = y + 8..... equation 1

2x + y = 46.... equation 2

x is the larger number

y is the smaller number.

Rearrange the equation and add equation 1 to equation 2.

x - y = 8

+ 2x + y = 46

-------------------

3x + 0 = 54

3x = 54

divide both sides by 3

x = 54/3

x = 18

Substitute x = 18 into equation 1

x = y + 8

18 = y + 8

collect like terms

y = 18-8

y = 10

Is the following relation a function? (
PolarNik [594]
No, because there are TWO values of y for a certain value of x

say x=5, then y=2 and y=-2

That does not satisfy the concept of the function.

Write an equation for the line of fit for this data in the form y=mx+b where x is latitude and y is temperature.
notka56 [123]

Answer:

y = -x + 115

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for graph

Required

The equation of best fit

First, we pick two corresponding points on the graph,

We have:

(x_1,y_1) =(55,60)

(x_2,y_2) =(45,70)

Calculate slope (m)

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

This gives:

m = \frac{70 - 60}{45 - 55}

m = \frac{10}{-10}

m = -1

The equation is the calculated using:

y = m(x - x_1) + y_1

This gives

y = -1(x - 55) + 60

Open bracket

y = -x + 55 + 60

y = -x + 115
