Answer:

First number: 20

Second number: 30

Step-by-step explanation:

First#:   x

Second#:   y

Constraints:

   x + y = 50      

   1/4x + 2/3y = 25

Isolate variable y:

   x + y = 50    

  -1/4 (x + y = 50 )

 -1/4x - 1/4y = -12.5

  Add equations the two equations to eliminate x:

    -1/4x - 1/4y = -12.5

     1/4x + 2/3y = 25

  _________________

       5/12y = 12.5

           5y = 150

              y = 30

Substitution to find x:

       x + y = 50  

       x + 30 = 50

              x = 20

If you apply the changes below to the absolute value parent function, f(x) = |Xl,
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

• Shift 5 units to the left  >>>  f(x) = |x+5|

• Shift 4 units down >>>  f(x) = |x| - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have the parent function:

f(x) = |x|

<u>For horizontal translations:</u>

  • |x-a| means horizontally translated a units right
  • |x+a| means horizontally translated a units left

<u>For Vertical translation:</u>

  • |x| + b means vertically translated b units up
  • |x| - b means vertically translated b units down

From the translation rules, we can say:

Shift 5 units left would be:

|x+5|

and

Shift 4 units down would be:

|x| - 4
