Answer:

We have that the sum of two numbers  is 9

this can be written as:

x + y  = 9

where x is the larger number.

Now we want to write:

"the difference between one more than the larger number and twice the smaller number"

First, remember that the difference between A and B is:

A - B

Then "the difference between one more than the larger number and twice the smaller number"

is:

"one more than the larger number" = ( x + 1)

"twice the smaller number" = 2*y

the difference between these is:

(x + 1) - 2*y

Now we can simplify:

We know that:

x + y = 9

then:

y = 9 - x

replacing that in the equation:

(x + 1) - 2*y

we would get:

x + 1 - 2*(9 - x)

x + 1  -18 + 2x

(x + 2x) + (1 - 18)

3x - 17

This means that we can write:

"the difference between one more than the larger number and twice the smaller number"

as: 3x - 17

Nikitich [7]

Using proportions, it is found that the number of islands that each member will have to visit is given by:

c. 19 islands.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, there are 684 islands, and 36 members, hence the number of islands per member is given by:

n = 684/36 = 19.

Which means that option c is correct.

1. What values of a, b, and c would you use in the quadratic formula for the following equation?
kiruha [24]
Answer: See each part below.

1) A, B, and C are the coefficients in order when it equals 0. Move over the 4 and you have 5, 9, -4 or Choice B.

3) If you graph the equation, it will be above the x-axis. Therefore, it has no roots. Choice D

4) Choice A is correct. Use the coefficients: A = 4, B = 3, C = -10. Simply plug those into the quadratic equation and you will get -2 and 1.25.
