9 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

larger number=2x-6

2x-6+x=21

3x=21+6

3x=27

x=9

the smaller number is 9

the bigger number is 2(9)-6=18-6=12.

Mary Sue and Betty have 603 necklaces altogether. Mary Sue has 115 more necklaces than Betty. How many necklaces does Betty have
Blizzard [7]

Let Mary Sue have m necklaces and Betty have b necklaces.

And they have 603 necklaces altogether, that is

m + b =603

And Mary Sue has 115 more necklaces than Betty, that is

m=b +115

Substituting this value in first equation we will get

b+115+b=603

Subtracting 115

2b= 488

b= 244

So Betty have 244 necklaces .

If f(x) = 3x2 + 2 and g(x) = x2 – 9, find (f – g)(x).
hoa [83]

Answer:

2x^2 +11

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x^2 + 2 and g(x) = x^2 – 9

(f – g)(x) =  3x^2 + 2 -( x^2 – 9)

Distribute the minus sign

                     3x^2 + 2 - x^2 + 9

Combine like terms

                     2x^2 +11
