Answer:

x=13

y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

let the greater number be x and the smaller number be y.

<u>Now</u><u>,</u>

from first condition,

x = y + 5 --------1

from second condition,

x + y = 21

or, x = 21 - y --------2

from equation 1 and 2,

y + 5 = 21 - y

or, 2y = 16

y = 8

now,

putting the value of y in equation 1

x = 8 + 5

= 13

A car enters a turnpike 22 miles north of the town. The car travels north at an average speed of 60 miles per hour. How far is t
QveST [7]

Answer:

y = 60x + 22

262 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the car enters the turnpike at 22 miles, his initial starting point, or initial value (b) is 22.  You also know the rate at which the car travels is 60 miles per hour, which is the slope (m).  Using the slope-intercept formula of a linear function: y = mx + b, you can plug in your initial value and rate:

y = 60x + 22, where y = the total miles and x = the number of hours traveled

After 4 hours:

y = 60(4) + 22 = 240 + 22 = 262 miles

Solve each system by substitution.<br>6) y = 2x - 3<br>y=-8x + 17​
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they are both equal to y set them equal to each other: 2x-3=-8x+17

Subtract 17 from both sides: 2x-20=-8x

Subtract 2x from both sides: -20=-10x

Divide both sides by -10: 2=x

Which expression has a sum of a 11/12? pls help. explain step by step in a way a 13 year old will understand.
lana66690 [7]

c. they are all parts of 12, and when added together they equal 11/12. The formula to solve non proportionate fractions*or with different denominators* is to CROSS multiply and make the denominators equal, then add the numerators and SIMPLIFY.

*Cross multiply to make the denominator equal (you can google how to make fractions equal)

then add the numerators together

then simplify. PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE OF THE FORMULA AND DONT BE INTIMIDATED BY THE LOOK OF THE PROBLEM. They all have the same formula or method of solving. Good Luck!! I hope this helps.

The diameter of a bacterial colony that doubles every hour is represented by the graph below. what is the diameter of the bacter
andrezito [222]
The colony doubles every hour, the population is equal to
p = 2^t

<span>Where t </span><span>is the time in hours.</span>
We are able to see this because:
2^0 = 1
2^1 = 2
2^2 = 4

Notice that the x coordinate of the graph corresponds to the time, and the y coordinate corresponds to the population.

<span>Thus at t = 9
</span>p = 2^t
p = 2^9
p = 512.

The correct answer is 512.
