Answer:

1 and 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the smaller number x and the larger number y.

This means 5y+2x=5.

Also, 4y-x=4.

This is a system of equations. There are two main ways two solve this.

Method 1: Substitution

5y+2x=5

4y-x=4

Solve for one of the variables, then substitute it back into one of the equations to solve for the other variable.

I will take 4y-x=4 and solve for x.

4y=4+x

x=4y-4

Then substitute for x in the other equation and solve for y.

5y+2x=5

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

5y+8y-8=5

13y=13

y=1

Now we can go back to our equation for x and substitute for y.

x=4y-4

x=4(1)-4=0

y, the larger number, is 1 and

x, the smaller number, is 0

Method 2: Elimination

5y+2x=5

4y-x=4

Change the equations so that the coefficient of one of the variables in an equation is opposite the one in the other equation. Then add the equations and solve for each variable.

If I multiply both sides of the second equation, 4y-x=4, by 2, the coefficient of x will become -2. In the first equation, the coefficient is 2, so they will become opposites.

4y-x=4

becomes

8y-2x=8

Now we have 5y+2x=5 and 8y-2x=8.

Add the sides of both equations to cancel the x values.

5y+2x+8y-2x=5+8

13y=13

y=1

like last time, we can substitute for y in any of the original equations to get x.

5y+2x=5

5(1)+2x=5

5+2x=5

2x=0

x=0

y, the larger number, is 1 and

x, the smaller number, is 0

Round cake has a diameter of 30 cm . Angela places the cake on a circular cake board with a diameter 5 cm longer than that of th
Sav [38]

Answer:

circumference of the cake board = 109.9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

diameter of cake = 30cm

diameter of cake board = 5cm longer than 30cm = 5 + 30 = 35cm

radius cake board = diameter ÷ 2 = 35 ÷ 2 = 17.5 cm

radius of cake board = 17.5 cm

circumference of a circle = 2 × π × r    (where π = 3.14)

circumference of a circle = 2 × 3.14 × 17.5 = 109.9 cm

Therefore the circumference of the cake board = 109.9 cm

The parent function of the function g(x) = (x – h)2 + k is f(x) = x2. The vertex of the function g(x) is located
Katen [24]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (h, k) = (9, -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The function g(x) is "vertex form" for a quadratic whose vertex is (h, k). We are told the vertex is (9, -8), so we have ...

  (h, k) = (9, -8) . . . . the values of h and k

Simple question just answer correctly to get brainleist and 10 pts! :)
Natali [406]

Answer:

d.  The mapping represents y as a function of x, because each x-value corresponds to exactly one y-value.

Step-by-step explanation:

This would be a function as long as one x-value doesn't correspond to two y-values. If two x-values correspond to one y-value though, it still represents a function.
