Answer:

The smaller number is 5.

The bigger number is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be x and the bigger number be x+10.

x+x+10 = 4x

2x+10 = 4x

10 = 4x-2x

2x = 10

x = 10÷2

= 5

x+10 = 5+10

= 15

Use substitution to solve each system of equations <br> X=y-2<br> 4x+y=2

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = y - 2.........(1)

4x + y = 2......(2)

Substituting x in (1) in (2)

4(y - 2) + y = 2

4y - 8 + y = 2

5y = 2 + 8

5y = 10

y = 10/5

y = 2

Putting x in (1)

x = y - 2

x = 2 - 2

x = 0

enyata [817]

Given that <span>For a certain model of car the distance $d$ required to stop the vehicle if it is traveling at $v$ mi/h is given by the formula $d=v+\frac{v^2}{20}, where [tex]d$ is measured in feet.

If Kerry wants her stopping distance not to exceed 75 ft, then the range of speeds (in mi/h) can she travel is obtained as follows:

$v+ \frac{v^2}{20} \leq75 \\ \\ 20v+v^2\leq1,500 \\ \\ v^2+20v+100\leq1,500+100 \\ \\ (v+10)^2\leq1,600 \\ \\ |v+10|\leq\sqrt{1,600} \\ \\ -40\leq v+10\leq40 \\ \\ -40-10\leqv\leq v\leq40-10 \\ \\ -50\leq v\leq30$

Therefore, the range of speed she can travel is $v\leq30\ mi/hr$
