X = larger number, y = smaller number
x + y = 75
x = 3y + 11
3y + 11 + y = 75
4y + 11 = 75
4y = 75 - 11
4y = 64
y = 64/4
y = 16 <=== ur smaller number
x = 3y + 11
x = 3(16) + 11
x = 48 + 11
x = 59...ur larger number
Answer:
y=55+15x
Step-by-step explanation:
Move the -2x^2 over to the other side to make it positive and then rewrite in descending order of x's. Like this: 2x^2 - 12X + 18. Factor out a 2 to make things easier: 2(x^2 - 6x + 9). Now factor what's inside the parenthesis. Both signs are the same and they're both negative: (x - )(x - ). It's up to us now to find out what goes inside there with those x's. What adds up to -6 has to multiply to +9. Two 3's fit inside there perfectly: -3-3=-6, and -3*-3=9, so the factors are (x-3)(x-3), and setting those equal to zero according to the Zero Product Property, x-3=0 so x = 3 with a multiplicity of 2.
Answer:
$1.76
Step-by-step explanation:
when you multiply 2.20x 0.8 you get 1.76. at first I thought division was needed, but the answer to 2.20/0.8 is 2.75- which is more than the original cost. (sorry if this is confusing but) 0.8 pound is less than 1 pound, so the answer would need to be less than 2.20.
Triangle BCD is similar to triangle ACE, so corresponding side lengths are proportional to one another and we have
