Answer:

The smallest number is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=24---equation 1

x-y=¹/6×24=>x-y=4---equation 2

Add both equations

2x=28

x=14

put x=14 into equation 1

14+y=24

y=24-14=10

Find the explicit formula and the type of function
damaskus [11]
Let's examine this, as x increases by 1, what happens to the y-value? The y-value decreases by 2, so the slope is -2. When x = 0, we have our y-intercept, -5. So we can fill in Slope form with the Slope and Y-intercept that the equation is:

y = -2x - 5

I need to finish this, can someone please help!
taurus [48]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

a parallelogram has sides that are parallel to the opposite side. This means that y + 7 is going to be parallel to 20.

Two opposing sides of a parallelogram are parallel and equal

You know that the length of both of the sides is equivalent because the other set of opposing lines is also parallel (you can think of it as cutting off the line segment of y+7 and 20 at the same length. )

this means that we can set up the equation to find y as:

y + 7 = 20

then, you can proceed to find y by isolating it:

y + 7 = 20 ; so therefore

y + 7    =    20

   - 7           -7

y           =     13

y = 13

So, the value of y is 13

Seven apple women possessed respectively 20,40,60,80,100,120,and 140 apples, went to market and sold all their apples at the sam
ra1l [238]

Answer: Each woman sold her apples at the rate of seven apples for I¢, and 3¢ each for the odd ones which were left over. this made it possible for each to receive the same amount, which is 20¢.

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

20,

40,

60,

80,

100,

120,

140.

solution.

first woman 20 apples

= 2 + 3 * 6¢.

= 20¢.

second woman 40 apples

= 5 + 5 * 3¢.

= 20¢.

third woman 60 apples

= 8 + 4 * 3¢.

= 20¢.

fourth woman 80 apples

= 11 + 3 * 3¢.

= 20¢.

fifth woman 100 apples

= 14 + 2 * 3¢.

= 20¢.

sixth woman 120 apples

= 17 + 1 * 3¢.

= 20¢.

seventh woman 140 apples

= 20 * 1¢.

= 20¢.
