42 and 14

explanation:

x+y = 56
x = 3y

Substitute for x in the first equation:
x + y = 56
x = 3y
3y + y = 56
Combine like terms:
4y = 56
Divide both sides by 4:
y = 14

So if y = 14, and x = 3y, then x = 42.

Now substitute for both x and y in both of the original equations to prove they are the correct values.

x + y = 56
x = 42
y = 4
42 + 14 = 56
56 = 56

x = 3y
x = 42
y = 14
42 = 3*14
42 = 42

So the two numbers, x and y, are 42 and 14.

The function below is written in vertex form or intercept form. Rewrite them in standard form and show your work.
lora16 [44]

Answer:

The standard form as y=5x^2+30x+41

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A function which is written in vertex form or intercept form.

We have to re-write it  in standard form that in terms of

Given y = 5(x+3)^2-4

Squaring  using (a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab , we get,  

y=5(x^2+9+6x)-4

Multiply 5 inside , we get,

y=5x^2+45+30x-4

Solving further , we get,

y=5x^2+30x+41

Thus , we have obtained the standard form as y=5x^2+30x+41
