Answer:

The sum of two numbers is 240. The larger number is 6 less than twice the smaller. Find the numbers.

----------

Let the smaller be "x" ; Larger is "2x-6"

EQUATION:

x + 2x-6 = 240

3x= 246

x = 82 (smaller)

2x-6 = 158 (larger)

The following graph represents the distance a commercial airplane travels over time, at cruising speed and an altitude of 35,000

ANEK [815]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $k=\frac{y}{x}$ or $y=kx$

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

Let

x ----> the time in hours

y ----> the distance in miles

Find the value of k

For the point (4,2268)

$k=\frac{2,268}{4}=567\ mph$

The slope represent the speed of the airplane

The linear equation is

$y=567x$

Part 1 :

The point (0,0) represents the starting point of the aircraft, when the time and distance are equal to zero. The cruising starts when time t = 0.

Part 2 :

The point (4, 2268) represents the plane after 4 hours of cruise , and shows it has traveled a distance of 2268 miles after 4 hours

Line A is represented by the following equation:

Vesnalui [34]

- for line B so the set of equations to have no solutions bc. x+y=2 and so y=2-x
so from x+y=4 will result y=4-x

so this is the right equation for line B so the set of equations has no solutions

Explain when you should reverse the inequality symbol when solving an equality.

rosijanka [135]

You must “reverse” the inequality sign to make the statement true: When you multiply by a negative number, “reverse” the inequality sign. Whenever you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign must be reversed in order to keep a true statement.
