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

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's define the types of numbers.

Real numbers: a value that represents a quantity along a continuous line

ex: 1, 5, -6, 0.125, 45.5258,

Integer: Zero, any positive or negative number

ex: -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5....

Whole numbers: a number without fractions [not negative]

ex: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.....

Rational numbers: any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction

ex: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Irrational numbers: any number that can't be expressed at the quotient or fraction

ex: pi, [3.14.... (never ending decimal)]  square root of 2....

Based on this information, the false statment would be A. I believe, because

pi is a real number and it is an irrational number.

I hope this helps!!! :)

Question 9
True [87]

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

m<1 = (4x + 2)

m<3 = (5x - 15)

To find the value of x, we need to generate an equation.

<1 and <3 are vertical angles. Vertical angles are congruent. Therefore:

m<1 = m<3

(4x + 2) = (5x - 15)

Use this equation to solve for x

4x + 2 = 5x - 15

Subtract 5x from both sides

4x + 2 - 5x = 5x - 15 - 5x

-x + 2 = -15

Subtract 2 from both sides

-x + 2 - 2 = -15 - 2

-x = -17

Divide both sides by -1

x = 17

Which value is a solution of the equation 85= 120-w?
Ronch [10]
85=120-w\\85-120=120-w-120\\-35=-w\\\frac{-35}{-1}=\frac{-w}{-1}\\35=w
