Answer:
The larger number is -6, the smaller number is -15
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two numbers, a and b.
We know that one number is larger than another by 9.
Then we can write:
a = b + 9
then a is larger than b by 9 units.
If the greater number is increased by 10 (a + 10) and the lesser number is tripled (3*b), the sum of the two would be -41:
(a + 10) + 3*b = -41
So we got two equations:
a = b + 9
(a + 10) + 3*b = -41
This is a system of equations.
One way to solve this is first isolate one variable in one of the two equations:
But we can see that the variable "a" is already isolated in the first equation, so we have:
a = b + 9
now we can replace that in the other equation:
(a + 10) + 3*b = -41
(b + 9) + 10 + 3*b = -41
now we can solve this for b.
9 + b + 10 + 3b = -41
(9 + 10) + (3b + b) = -41
19 + 4b = -41
4b = -41 -19 = -60
b = -60/4 = -15
b = -15
then:
a = b + 9
a = -15 + 9 = -6
a = -6
2x^2-4=124 is the correct answer.
Answer:
x=5 y=-6
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+y=9 ------eqn1
y=4-2x -------eqn2
using substitution
put y=4-2x into eqn1
3x+4-2x=9
x=5
put x=5 into eqn2
y=4-2(5)
y=4-10
y=-6

1 hr = 60 mins
10 hr = ... mins
600 mins + 39 mins = ... mins
639 mins + 24 sec=......mins
91 cm × 24 = ...
IDK what convention factors are tho...
