Answer:

12 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

we can solve this through a system of equations.

one number is a third of the other

1/3x = y

added together they equal sixteen

x + y = 16

substitute in for y

1/3x + x = 16

x = 12

put this in the original equation and

y = 4

Answer: 4 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the "another number"

Therefore, "one number" is 1/3x

1/3 x + x = 4/3 x

4/3 x = 16

1/3 x = 4

x = 12

Therefore, the numbers are 4 and 12.

Find an equation of the line perpendicular to the graph of 14x-7y=8 that passing through the point at (-2,5).
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

2x + 4y = 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

14x - 7y = 8

Convert to slope-intercept form:

-7y = -14x + 8

y = 2x - 8/7

The slope is 2 so the line perpendicular to it has a slope of -1/2, so we have:

y = 1/2x + c

This line passes through the point (-2, 5) so:

5 = -1/2* (-2) + c

5 = 1 + c

c = 5 - 1 = 4

So our equation is y = -1/2x + 4.

Convert to standard from

4y = -2x + 16

2x + 4y = 16.

Write a number or expression in each blank space to create true equations.
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

7(3+5)=7(3)+7(5)\\15-10=5(3-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Both expressions are examples of the <em>distributive property</em>, which basically says "if I have <em>this </em>many groups of some size and <em>that</em> many groups of the same size, I've got <em>this </em>+ <em>that</em> groups of that size altogether."

To give an example, if I've got <em>3 groups of 5 </em>and <em>2 groups of 5</em>, I've got 3 + 2 = <em>5 groups of 5 </em>in total. I've attached a visual from Math with Bad Drawings to illustrate this idea.

Mathematically, we'd capture that last example with the equation

5(3)+5(2)=5(3+2). We can also read that in reverse: 3 + 2 groups of 5 is the same as adding together 3 groups of 5 and 2 groups of 5; both directions get us 8 groups of 5. We can use this fact to rewrite the first expression like this: 7(3+5)=7(3)+7(5).

This idea extends to subtraction too: If we have 3 groups of 4 and we take away 1 group of 4, we'd expect to be left with 3 - 1 = 2 groups of 4, or in symbols: 4(3)-4(1)=4(3-1)=4(2). When we start with two numbers like 15 and 10, our first question should be if we can split them up into groups of the same size. Obviously, you could make 15 groups of 1 and 10 groups of 1, but 15 is also the same as <em>3 groups of 5</em> and 10 is the same as <em>2 groups of 5</em>. Using the distributive property, we could write this as 15-10=3(5)-2(5)=5(3-2), so we can say that 15-10=5(3-2).
