Answer:

x = -6

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two numbers is 3

x + y = 3

twice the larger number is 36 more than three times the smaller number

2y = 3x + 36

Divide both sides by 2

y = 1.5x + 18

substitute for y in the first equation

x + (1.5x + 18) = 3

2.5x = -15

divide both sides by 2.5

x = -6

Substitute for x in the first equation

-6 + y = 3

y = 9

Exam: 05.03 Exponential and Logarithmic Functions Mid-Module Check<br><br><br> Solve 4x = 8x − 1
Fantom [35]
If 4x = 8x - 1 then 4x must be equivalent to 1. So that means x is .25 or 1/4.

Hope this helps!
(I assumed your trying to solve for x, please word the question better next time)

If y=1/4 when x=5, find y when x=7, given that y directly with x
mariarad [96]

Answer:

7/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since y varies directly with x, the ratio of y to x is proportional.

... y / 7 = (1/4)/(5)

... y / 7 = 1 / 20 . . . . simplify

... y = 7/20 . . . . . multiply by 7
