Hey!To solve this problem, we need to set up two equations and use the system of equations to solve.

Let x be the first number.
Let y be the second number.

(x + y) ÷ 2 = 34
x = 3y

Now, we can use substitution to solve.

(3y + y) ÷ 2 = 34
4y ÷ 2 = 34
2y = 34
y = 17

Now, you plug the value of y in the equation to solve for x.

x = 3*17
x = 51
hope this helps!!

(x + y)/2 = 34 multiply by 2
x + y = 68                               (1)
3x = y                                     (2)
Put 3x in for y in equation 1
x + 3x = 68
4x = 68
x = 17

One of the numbers is 17
The other one is 51

1. Each term in this polynomial has a common factor of 3x^3:

12x^6-9x^4+18x^3=3x^3(4x^3-3x+6)

2. Not sure what the "vertical method" is, but I would guess it refers to some way of visualizing the distributive property.

(3x-5)(2x^2+7x-3)=3x(2x^2+7x-3)-5(2x^2+7x-3)

(3x-5)(2x^2+7x-3)=(6x^3+21x^2-9x)+(-10x^2-35x+15)

(3x-5)(2x^2+7x-3)=6x^3+11x^2-44x+15

3. You can use the same approach as in (2), or recall that (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2:

(5x-4y)^2=(5x)^2+2(5x)(-4y)+(-4y)^2

(5x-4y)^2=25x^2-40xy+16y^2

4. Recall that a difference of squares can be factored as a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b). So

(2x^2-7)(2x^2+7)=(2x^2)^2-7^2

(2x^2-7)(2x^2+7)=4x^4-49

Solve for x: -7x+2=-4x-7
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer: x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to start by adding positive 4x to both sides since the 4x is a negative.  4x + (-7x) = -3x.  Then it is just simply -3x+2 = -7.  Since 2 is a positive number subtract both both sides by 2.  Then you should get -3x = -9.  Then divide both sides by -3 and the answer is x = 3.

You want to have $200,000 when you retire in 25 years. If you can earn 3% interest rate compounded continuously, how much would
mash [69]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $94,473.31

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier in 25 years is ...

  e^(rt) = e^(0.03·25) = e^0.75 ≈ 2.117

To have an account value of $200,000 in 25 years, you need to deposit now ...

  $200,000/2.117 = $94,473.31

_____

When this amount is multiplied by 2.117, the result is 200,000.
