The difference between two numbers is 8. Twice the number is 4 more than the larger number. What is the smaller number?

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.

Depreciation is the decrease or loss in value of an item due to age, wear, or market conditions. We usually consider
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Part A) V(t)=-5,750t+101,250

Part B) \$55,250

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) Express the value of the bulldozer, V, as a function of how many years old it is, t.

Let

V ----> the value of the bulldozer (dependent variable or output value)

t ----> the number of years (independent variable or input value)

we know that

The linear function in slope intercept form is equal to

V(t)=mt+b

we have the ordered pairs

(0,101,250) and (15,15,000)

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

substitute

m=\frac{15,000-101,250}{15-0}

m=-\$5,750\ per\ year ----> is negative because is a decreasing function

The value of b is the initial value

so

b=\$101,250

substitute

V(t)=-5,750t+101,250

Part B) The value of the bulldozer after 8 years is

For t=8 years

substitute the value of t in the linear equation

V(t)=-5,750(8)+101,250=\$55,250

Given: m∠A = m∠C = 90°<br> AB ║ DC<br> Prove: ∆ABD ≅ ∆CDB<br> 40 points
leonid [27]

Answer:

ABD = CDB

AB is parallel to DC

Step-by-step explanation:

angle a and c are right angles so they are equal and angle b and d are equal because they have a line that touch both letters

AB and DC are parellel because they are the same looking lines just on oppisite sides
