Answer:

Larger number = 34

Smaller number = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Sum of numbers = 51

Let,

x be the larger number

y be the smaller number

According to given statement;

x+y=51       Eqn 1

x = 2y        Eqn 2

Putting x=2y in Eqn 1

2y+y=51

3y=51

Dividing both sides by 3

\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{51}{3}\\y=17

Putting y=17 in Eqn 2

x=2(17)

x=34

Hence,

Larger number = 34

Smaller number = 17

Graph the equation<br> y=-2x+1
Fofino [41]

Start by plotting the y-intercept at (0,1).

From that point, count "up 2, right 1" to get a second point on your graph.  

If needed repeat that "up 2, right 1" from that second point to get a third point.

Draw the line that connects these 2 or 3 points.

The owner of a local farm sells baskets of fresh tomatoes in the summer time. Each basket is priced according to its mass rounde
elixir [45]

Answer:

4 1/10 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total mass, we add the mass of the three baskets

1 1/10 + 1 3/10 + 1 7/10

Since they have the same denominator

 1   1/10

 1   3/10

 1   7/10

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

 3  11/10

Change the improper fraction to a mixed number

11/10 = 1 1/10

3 + 1 1/10

4  1/10

Which equation represents a line that has a slope of -1/2 and passes through point (4, –5)?
Wewaii [24]
Y=-1/2x-3

You can rewrite the equation “y=mx+b” and fill in what you know. So your equation would look like y=-1/2x+b when filling in what you know. Now you can take the (x,y) coordinates that you were given and plug them into the equation and solve for b. So now it would be -5=-1/2(4)+b
