Make an equation system based on the problem
eg. a is the first number and b is the seond number
An equation for "<span>The sum of two numbers is 53" is
</span>⇒ a + b = 53
An equation for "<span>twice the first number minus three times the second number is 26"
</span>⇒ 2a - 3b = 26
<span>
Solve the equations by elimination and subtitution method
Eliminate a to find the value of b
a + b = 53   (multiplied by 2)
2a - 3b = 26
--------------------------------------
2a + 2b = 106
2a -  3b = 26
------------------- - (substract)
       5b = 80
         b = 80/5
         b = 16

Subtitute the value of b to one of the equations
a + b = 53
a + 16 = 53
a = 53 - 16
a = 37

The numbers are 16 and 37</span>

Graph the function f(x) = - squared x + 2
MariettaO [177]

One of the ways to graph this is to use plug in a few x-values and get an idea of the shape. Since the x values keep getting squared, there is an exponential increase on either side of the y-axis. You can see this by plugging in a few values:

When

x=0,f(x)=0

x=1,f(x)=1^2=1

x=2,f(x)=2^2=4

x=3,f(x)=3^2=9

x=4,f(x)=4^2=16

The same holds true for negative x-values to the left of the y-axis since a negative value squared is positive. For example,

x=−1,f(x)=(−1)2=1*−1=1

x=2,f(x)=(−2)2=−2*−2=4

The graph of f(x)=x^2 is called a "Parabola." It looks like this:

Please, Answer is needed.
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

540 mins | 9 hours | 540, 9

420 mins | 7 hours | 420, 7

300 mins | 5 hours | 300, 5

180 mins | 3 hours | 180, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hour = 60 mins

To convert hours into minutes, multiply the number of hours by 60 minutes:

9 hours × 60 mins = 540 mins

7 hours × 60 mins = 420 mins

5 hours × 60 mins = 300 mins

3 hours × 60 mins = 180 mins

2 × (2,230 + 829) Which of the following is true about the expression above? A. The given expression is 2 more than (2,230 + 829
goblinko [34]

Answer:

B - the expression given is 2 timex as large at (2,230 + 829)

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 2 by each set of numbers then add.

2X 2230 = 4460

2x829 = 1658

Add them together

4460+1658 = 6118
