Answer:

7 and 34

Step-by-step explanation:

let x and y be the 2 numbers with x > y

The 2 equations to solve are

x = 4y + 6 → (1)

x + y = 41 → (2)

Substitute x = 4y + 6 into (2)

4y + 6 + y = 41 , that is

5y + 6 = 41 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

5y = 35 ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = 7

Substitute y = 7 into (1)

x = 4(7) + 6 = 28 + 6 = 34

The 2 numbers are 7 and 34

I'm really not sure how to go about solving this algebraic equation, please help! .513 = (2x)^2 / (.05-x)

LiRa [457]

Let's set it up like this:
$0.513=\frac{\left(2x\right)^2}{\left(0.05-x\right)}$
Multiply both sides by $0.05-x$
$0.513\left(0.05-x\right)=\frac{\left(2x\right)^2}{0.05-x}\left(0.05-x\right)$
$0.513\left(0.05-x\right)=4x^2$
We are then going to use the distributive property. Since we also know that the opposite of an number that is squared is the square root, we can also apply that. We would be left with something like this:
$x=-\frac{0.513+\sqrt{0.673569}}{8},\:x=\frac{\sqrt{0.673569}-0.513}{8}$
The variable $x$ can be both positive or negative.
We have found successfully our answer.

The football team has a total of 350 jerseys. There are 154 medium-sized jerseys. What percent of the jerseys are medium-sized

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The total number of jerseys = 350

The number of medium-sized jerseys = 154

Then, the percent of the jerseys are medium-sized jerseys will be :-

\begin{gathered}\dfrac{\text{Number of medium-sized jerseys }}{\text{Total jerseys}}\times100\\\\=\dfrac{154}{350}\times100\\\\=0.44\times100=44\%\end{gathered}

Total jerseys

Number of medium-sized jerseys

×100

350

154

×100

=0.44×100=44%

<h3>Therefore , the percent of the jerseys are medium-sized jerseys = 44%</h3>

-3y = -6 -4y

slove for Y

y = -6/-3 -4/-3 x

Y = -2 +4/3x

Y = 4/3 x -2

so slope or gradient is coefficient of x

4/3 is gradient.
