Find the two-digit number which is 2 times the sum of its digits. Find a statement and number, please.
poizon [28]
A two-digit number is twice the sum of its digit. If the tens digit is 7 less than the unit digit, find the number. 
Let x= the unit digit
Then y= the tens digit
<span>And 10y+x= the number 


</span>x+y= the sum of the digits 
<span>Now we are told that 10y+x=2(x+y) ------1st equation </span>
<span>We are also told that y=x-7 ----------- 2nd Equation </span>
<span>So our equations to solve are: </span>
(1) 10y+x=2(x+y)
<span>(2) y=x-7 
</span>

Hope it helps

Find an equation for the line below​
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

y+1=\frac{-2}{3} (x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use the equation point-slope of a line

(y-y1)= m(x-x1)

m is the slope =rise /run

to get from the lower point  on the line to the other you rise 4 units and run -6 units so m= -4/6= -2/3

now that you have the slope pick you need one point

pick any poin on the line for example (-4, -1)

now you substitute into the point-slope equation point (-4,-1) and slope -2/3

(y+1)= -2/3(x+4)

in standard form will be

y=\frac{-2x}{3} -\frac{2*4}{3} -1

y=\frac{-2x}{3}- \frac{5}{3}

Given [Missing from the question]

Length = 170cm\\ Width = 100cm\\ Height = 40cm

Required

Determine the volume

This is calculated as:

Volume = Length * Width * Height

Volume = 170cm * 100cm * 40cm

Volume = 680000cm^3

Convert to cubic foot [Divide by 28317 ]

Volume = \frac{680000\ ft/^3}{28317}

Volume = 24.0138432744\ ft^3

Volume = 24\ ft^3 --- approximated
