When we write out the system of equations, we will get:

x+y=18

x-y=8

We can then use elimination to get just one variable.

x+y=18

+x-y= 8

Which gives us: 2x=26

We then divide by 2 and get: x=13

We next plug that into one of the two equations and solve for the other variable: (13)+y=18

We subtract 13 from both sides and get: y=5

So the two numbers are 13 and 5.

Answer:

13 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=18

x-y=8

_____

2x=26

x=13

So the first number must be 13

13+y=18

y=5

And the second number must be 5

Jenny made $315.25 for 8 hours of work. How much would Jenny make for 40 hours of work

bagirrra123 [75]

If Jenny made $315.25 for 8 hours of work:

Then it means that she made:
$312.25/8 hours = $39.41 per hour.

If Jenny works for 40 hours, then she will make:

40 hours × $39.41 = $1,576.25

Juans three math quizzes this week took him 1/3?4/6?and1/5 hour to complete. List all the fraction from least to greatest

Alex

Answer:

$\frac{1}{5}$ , $\frac{1}{3}$ , $\frac{4}{6}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given fractions $\frac{1}{3}$ , $\frac{4}{6}$ , $\frac{1}{5}$ .

We need to list them from least to greatest.

In order to arrange them from least to greatest, we need to find the least common denominator of $\frac{1}{3}$ , $\frac{4}{6}$ , $\frac{1}{5}$ .

We have 3, 6 and 5 in denominators.

Least common multiple of 3, 6 and 5 is = 30, because 30 is least number that can be divided by all three number 3, 6 and 5.

Let us covert each denominator as 30.

Multiplying first fraction $\frac{1}{3}$ by 10 in top and bottom, we get

$\frac{1}{3} = \frac{1\times10}{3\times10}=\frac{10}{30}$

Multiplying first fraction $\frac{4}{6}$ by 5 in top and bottom, we get

$\frac{4}{6} = \frac{4\times5}{6\times5}=\frac{20}{30}$

Multiplying first fraction $\frac{1}{5}$ by 6 in top and bottom, we get

$\frac{1}{5} = \frac{1\times6}{5\times6}=\frac{6}{30}.$

Now, we can check $\frac{10}{30}, \frac{20}{30} \ and \ \frac{6}{30}.$

$\frac{6}{30}$ is the smallest, $\frac{10}{30}$ is greater and $\frac{20}{30}$ is the greatest.

Therefore, we can arrange fractions $\frac{6}{30}, \frac{10}{30} \ and \ \frac{20}{30}.$

Writing original fractions in place of equivalent fractions, we can write

$\frac{1}{5}$ , $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{4}{6}$ .

Therefore, the order the amounts of paint from least to greatest is:

$\frac{1}{5}$ , $\frac{1}{3}$ , $\frac{4}{6}$ .

What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x) = 5x - 2 into the graph of g(x) = x -2

malfutka [58]

Answer:

Vertical compression

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the transformation, compare the function to the parent function and check to see if there is a horizontal or vertical shift, reflection about the x-axis or y-axis, and if there is a vertical stretch.
