Answer:

  9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the two numbers, with y being the smaller.

  x - y = 6 . . . . . . difference is 6

  3x = 5y . . . . . . . 3 times the larger is 5 times the smaller

Use the first equation to write an expression to substitute for x:

  x = y + 6

  3(y +6) = 5y

  18 = 2y . . . . . . .subtract 3y and collect terms

  9 = y

The smaller number is 9.

Split the second term in 5x^2 + 23x + 26 into two terms

5x^2 + 13x + 10x + 26

Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms

x(5x + 13) + 2(5x + 13)

Factor out the common term; 5x + 13

<u>(5x + 13)(x + 2)</u>

A point located at (-5, 2) is translated right 3 units. What are the coordinates of the image? (-5, 5) (-2, 5) (-5, -1) (-2, 2)
Mazyrski [523]

ANSWER

(-2,2)

EXPLANATION

The rule for translating a point 'k' units to the right is

(x,y)\to (x+k,y)

If the point located at (-5, 2) is translated right 3 units, the coordinates of the image is obtained by adding 3 to the x-coordinate.

This implies that,

( - 5,2)\to ( - 5+3,2)

( - 5,2)\to ( -2,2)

Therefore the image is:

(-2,2)
