Answer:

If the two numbers are x and y, then:

x + y = 8

18 - 2x = 4y - 2.

When we subtract y from both sides in our first equation we get:

x = 8 - y, so:

18 - 2(8 - y) = 4y - 2

18 - 16 + 2y = 4y - 2

2 + 2y = 4y - 2

2y = 4

y = 2

Since x + y = 8, and y = 2, x = 6, and since 6 > 2, the larger number is 6.

Answer:

Slope is 1/4 (0.25) while y-intercept is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in getting the y intercept and slope of the line joining the given points.

We can get the slope by using any two points

Let’s say (4,6) and (12,8)

Mathematically; slope

= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (8-6)/(12-4) = 2/8 = 1/4 = 0.25

To get the y-intercept, we proceed

kindly recall that the equation of a straight line is;

y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

Let’s take any of the points (28,12)

Thus:

12 = 0.25(28) + c

12 = 7 + c

c = 12-7

c = 5

What is the correct factorization of x^2 - 2x - 15?
iragen [17]

Answer:

option b

Step-by-step explanation:

{x}^{2}  - 2x - 15

{x}^{2}  - 5x + 3x - 15 = 0

x(x - 5) + 3(x - 5) = 0

(x - 5)(x + 3) = 0

x = -3 (Not possible)

x = 5

So, x = 5
