Answer:

The smallest number is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Using simultaneous equation;

x+y = 18.....(1)

4x-y = 17.....(2)

from equation (1)..

x+y = 18

y = 18-x...(3)

substitute y into equation (2)

4x-y = 17

4x-(18-x) = 17

4x-18+x = 17

4x+x = 17+18

5x = 35

x = 35÷5

x = 7

substitute x into equation (3)

y = 18-x

y = 18-7

y = 11

Therefore; x=7

y=11

11+7=18

(4×7)-11=17

the smallest number is 7

Solve |√2-y| = |y-√2|
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

|√2-y|=|y-√2|

√2-y=±(y-√2)

when √2-y=y-√2

y+y=√2+√2

2y=2√2

y=√2

when √2-y=-(y-√2)

√2-y=-y+√2

or 0=0

it gives no value of y.

so only possible value is y=√2

Find the slope and y-intercept of the line in each graph. (Explore Activity 1) Please help me
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

1. Slope = -2 , y-intercept = 1

2. Slope = 5 , y-intercept = -15

3. Slope = 1.5 , y-intercept = -2

4. Slope = -3 , y-intercept = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The slope is -2 because using the formula y₁-y₂÷x₁-x₂ you can use the points given to you to get -2. It doesn't matter which one you pick as y1 or y2, just make sure you keep it consistent with the x numberings. I did 1--3 (which becomes 1+3) and 0-2. Those equal 4/-2 which gives you -2. Use these same steps for all of them, but with ones that don't have the points given, just pick two that are whole numbers and not decimals. For finding the y-intercept, just find the point that is on the y axis line. It is given on number one as (0,1). So, the y-intercept is 1. Hope this helps!
