A number is two more than another number in number form?​

From the information in the word problem we are able to set up the following inequality:  

3y + 2 - y = 12   |   where x is the larger number of two numbers in a set (x, y)  

We know this because the problem states that [x = 3y + 2] or 3 times the smaller number plus two.  

We also know that x - y = 12.

So, we substitute x in [x - y = 12] with 3y + 2 that we found out above, and we get the following:

3y + 2 - y = 12

Now, we solve the inequality

3y + 2 - y = 12

-> subtract 2 from both sides :: 3y - y = 10

-> subtract y from 3y              :: 2y = 10

-> divide both sides by 2        :: y = 5

So now we have y, the smaller number, which is equal to 5. Next, to find x we simply plug y=5 back in to either the value of x, [3y + 2], or the inequality of x - y = 12. I will show both:  

x - y = 12

-> substitute y for 5     :: x - 5 = 12

-> add 5 to both sides :: x = 17

OR

3y + 2 = x

-> substitute y with 5 :: 3(5) + 2 = x

-> multiply 3, 5          :: 15 + 2 = x

-> add 15, 2              :: 17 = x

So there you have it:  

x = 17 , y = 5

You can go back and use these values to check your answer and make sure they work with the word problem.  

Remember to look for the setup to an inequality in the word problem. Anything that says BLANK times this number, or 4 less than that number, is trying to set you up with an inequality problem.  

(just another form of the equation)

Y=2x+10<br> y=x+1 <br> solve using substitution
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

x = -9

y = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

here's the solution :-

=》y = 2x + 10

=》y = x + 1

plunging the value of y from equation 1 into equation 2

=》2x + 10 = x + 1

=》2x - x = 1 - 10

=》x = -9

value of x = -9

now, plugging the value of x in equation 2, we get :-

=》y = x + 1

=》y = -9 + 1

=》y = -8

Parallel to y=4x+2,y intercept at 4
seraphim [82]

Answer:

<h2>y = 4x + 4</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

Parallel lines have the same slope.

We have y = 4x + 2 → m = 4.

The slope of parallel line is m = 4 and the y-intercept b = 4.

Therefore we have the equation of a line:

y=4x+4

What is the tangent ratio for ∠A?
tiny-mole [99]

for this case we have to define trigonometric relations of rectangular triangles, that the tangent of an angle is given by the leg opposite the angle on the leg adjacent to the angle. So:

tg (A) = \frac {6} {8} = \frac {3} {4}

Answer:

tg (A) = \frac {3} {4}
