X = smaller number
y = bigger number

y = 3x

x+y = 20
x+3x = 20
4x = 20
x = 5

The smaller number is 5.

How many real number solutions does the equation have 0=5x^2+2x-12
Harman [31]
 Rearrange the equation to standard form of a quadratic equation (ax^2+bx+c=0) by switching sides: 5x^2+2x-12=0. Now, use the quadratic equation formula to solve. You should come out with x_1=sqrt61-1/5 and x_2=-1+sqrt61/5. Thus, your answer is B, or two solutions.

Use the trend line to predict what the value of variable N will be when variable M equals 50.
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

N = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally the coordinate system goes:

x axis (horizontal)

y axis (vertical)

Here, we have:

Horizontal axis as "M", and

Vertical axis as "N"

We want to know what N will be when M equals 50.

So, we look at the x-axis and go to M equals 50.

Then we move up until the "trend line". The intersection.

If we move directly left to vertical axis (N variable), we see that it is at the point:

N = 10

So,

When M = 50, N = 10
