Answer:

Smaller number = 4

Larger number = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Smaller number = x

Larger number = 4x - 3

Sum of the numbers = 17

x + 4x -3 =  17   {Combine like terms}

   5x - 3 = 17    {add 3 to boht sides}

        5x = 17 + 3

        5x = 20      {Divide both sides by 5}

          x = 20/5

         x = 4

      Larger number = 4x - 3

                               = 4*4 -3

                                = 16 - 3

                                = 13

What is the x-intercept and y-intercept of the linear equation 3x-6y=2
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The x-intercept is 2/3 and the y-intercept is -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we need to note that the x-intercept is the value of x, when y = 0. So we plug in y = 0 and see what the x value is.

3x - 6y = 2

3x - 6(0) = 2

3x = 2

x = 2/3

The y-intercept is the opposite. It is the y value when x = 0. So we do the same with the other term.

3x - 6y = 2

3(0) - 6y = 2

-6y = 2

y = -2/6

y = -1/3

Part a at what speed v should an archerfish spit the water to shoot down an insect floating on the water surface located at a di
loris [4]
3.01 m/s  
This is a simple projectile calculation. What we want is a vertical velocity such that the time the droplet spends going up and going back down to the surface exactly matches the time the droplet takes to travel horizontally 0.800 meters. The time the droplet spends in the air will is:
 V*sqrt(3)/2 ; Vertical velocity.
 (V*sqrt(3)/2)/9.8 ; Time until droplet reaches maximum height
 (V*sqrt(3))/9.8 ; Double that time for droplet to fall back to the surface.
 
 The droplet's horizontal velocity will be:
 V/2.
 
 So the total distance the droplet travels will be:
 d = (V*sqrt(3))/9.8 * V/2
 d = V^2*sqrt(3)/19.6
 
 Let's substitute the desired distance and solve for V
 d = V^2*sqrt(3)/19.6
 0.8 = V^2*sqrt(3)/19.6
 15.68 = V^2*sqrt(3)
 15.68/sqrt(3) = V^2
 15.68/1.732050808 = V^2
 3.008795809 = V 
 So after rounding to 3 significant figures, the archerfish needs to spit the water at a velocity of 3.01 m/s 
 Let's verify that answer.
 Vertical velocity: 3.01 * sin(60) = 3.01 * 0.866025404 = 2.606736465
 Time of flight = 2.606736465 * 2 / 9.8 = 0.531987034 seconds. 
 Horizontal velocity: 3.01 * cos(60) = 3.01 * 0.5 =

Solve and show all work |2×+3| -6=11​
mash [69]

Answer:

x = -10; x = 7  

Step-by-step explanation:

|2x + 3| - 6 =11

Add 6 to each side.

|2x + 3| = 17

Apply the absolute rule: If |x| = a, then x = a or x = -a.

(1) 2x + 3 = 17                    (2) 2x + 3 = -17

Subtract 3 from each side

         2x = 14                                 2x = -20

Divide each side by 2

          x = 7                                   x = -10

<em>Check: </em>

(1) |2(7) + 3| - 6 = 11                     (2) |2(-10) + 3| - 6 = 11

      |14 + 3| - 6 = 11                              |-20 + 3| - 6 = 11

             |17| - 6 = 11                                     |-17| - 6 = 1 1

              17 - 6 = 11                                        17 - 6 = 11

                    11 = 11                                              11 = 11
