  20, 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the smaller and larger numbers, respectively. The given relations let us write two equations:

  x + y = 56 . . . . . . the sum of the two numbers is 56

  2x -y/2 = 22 . . . . twice the smaller exceeds half the larger by 22

We can solve this by multiplying the second equation by 2 and adding the first.

  2(2x -y/2) +(x +y) = 2(22) +56

  5x = 100 . . . . . . simplify

  x = 20

  y = 56 -20 = 36

The two numbers are 20 and 36.

What is the slope and y-intercept of (0,8) (1,10) (2,12) (3,14) (4,16) (5,18)
Anna71 [15]
To get slope use

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

10 - 8 / 1 - 0 = 2/1 = 2

Slope = 2

The y-intercept is the coordinate point that has 0 as the x value.

(0, 8) is the y-intercept.

Help this confusing no matter how any times I do it

Answer:

The variable 8. Equation is 16 + 12x = 112.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that she spent $16 dollars on magazines, so we can put it in the equation (16 + x= ?). We also know that the total is $112, so we can also add that (16+ x= 112). We don't know how many books she got, but we do know how much they cost (16 + 12x=112. So that makes  the books the variable (X).

To find the variable we need to take out the magazines from the price. 112-16=96. Now we're left with 12x=96. Now all we have to do is divide 96 by 12, which equals 8.
