Answer:

11 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let these two numbers be x and y where x is greater than y.

We can write two equations from the given information:

x - y = 4

and

x + y = 18

If we add them together, the y's cancel out:

x - y = 4

x + y = 18

2x = 22

x = 11

y is 4 less than x, meaning it is 7.

The two numbers are 11 and 7

Which statements are true about David's work? Check all that apply. The GCF of the coefficients is correct. The GCF of the varia
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The GCF of the coefficients is correct.

The variable c is not common to all terms, so a power of c should not have been factored out.

In step 6, David applied the distributive property.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the polynomial :

80b⁴ – 32b²c³ + 48b⁴c

The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the coefficients:

80, 32, 48

Factors of :

80 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, and 80

32 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32

48 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, and 48.

GCF = 16

b⁴, b², b⁴

b⁴ = b * b * b * b

b² = b * b

b⁴ = b * b * b * b

GCF = b*b = b²

GCF of c³ and c

c³ = c * c * c

c = c

GCF = c

We can see that David's GCF of the coefficients are all correct

From the polynomial ; 80b⁴ does not contain c ; so factoring out c is incorrect

In step 6 ; the distributive property was used to obtain ; 16b²c(5b² – 2c² + 3b²)

3/a times x-4=20<br> What is x?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Step  1  :

           3

Simplify   —

           a

Equation at the end of step  1  :

   3                

 ((— • x) -  4) -  20  = 0  

   a                

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  a  as the denominator :

        4     4 • a

   4 =  —  =  —————

        1       a  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

3x - (4 • a)     3x - 4a

————————————  =  ———————

     a              a    

Equation at the end of step  2  :

 (3x - 4a)    

 ————————— -  20  = 0  

     a        

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

3.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  a  as the denominator :

         20     20 • a

   20 =  ——  =  ——————

         1        a    

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

(3x-4a) - (20 • a)     3x - 24a

——————————————————  =  ————————

        a                 a    

Step  4  :

Pulling out like terms :

4.1     Pull out like factors :

  3x - 24a  =   -3 • (8a - x)  

Equation at the end of step  4  :

 -3 • (8a - x)

 —————————————  = 0  

       a      

Step  5  :

When a fraction equals zero :

5.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 -3•(8a-x)

 ————————— • a = 0 • a

     a    

Now, on the left hand side, the  a  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  -3  •  (8a-x)  = 0

Equations which are never true :

5.2      Solve :    -3   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Equation of a Straight Line

5.3     Solve   8a-x  = 0 Tiger recognizes that we have here an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK). "y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.In this formula :y tells us how far up the line goesx tells us how far alongm is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line isb is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axisThe X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line  8a-x  = 0 and calculate its properties

Graph of a Straight Line :

 

 

Calculate the Y-Intercept :

Notice that when x = 0 the value of a is 0/8 so this line "cuts" the a axis at a= 0.00000

 a-intercept = 0/8  =  0.00000  

Calculate the X-Intercept :

When a = 0 the value of x is 0/-1 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x=-0.00000

 x-intercept = 0/-1  = -0.00000  

Calculate the Slope :

Slope is defined as the change in a divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of a is -0.000 and for x=2.000, the value of a is 0.250. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 0.250 - -0.000 = 0.250 in a. (The change in a is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

   Slope     =  0.250/2.000 =  0.125  

Geometric figure: Straight Line

 Slope = 0.250/2.000 = 0.125

 x-intercept = 0/-1 = -0.00000

 a-intercept = 0/8 = 0.00000

The equation v/2 -21=-15 is solved in several steps below.
Arada [10]

Answer:

V/2 - 21 = -15

V/2 - 21 + 21 = -15 + 21

V/2 + 0 = 6

V/2 * 2 = 6 * 2

V = 12

If the principal is $300 rate 3% time 4 years then what is the interest earned and the new balance
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

a) Interest earned = $36

New Balance  = $336

b) Interest rate  = 0.05 or 5%

New Balance = $517.5

c) time t = 5

New Balance = $612.5

d) Principal Amount = $675

New Balance =  $783

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

a) Principal (P) = $300

Rate (r) = 3% or 0.03

Time (t)= 4 years

Interest earned = ?

The formula used is: Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t

Putting values and finding interest

Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t\\Simple \ Interest (I)= 300\times 0.03\times 4\\Simple \ Interest (I)= 36

So, Interest earned = $36

New Balance = Principal + Interest = 300+36 = $336

b) a) Principal (P) = $300

Rate (r) = ?

Time (t)= 3 years

Interest earned = 67.50

The formula used is: Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t

Putting values and finding rate

Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t\\67.50= 450\times r\times 3\\67.50=1350\times r\\r=\frac{67.50}{1350}\\r=0.05 \ or \ 5\%

So, Interest rate  = 0.05 or 5%

New Balance = Principal + Interest = 450+67.50 = $517.5

c) Principal (P) = $500

Rate (r) = 4.5% or 0.045

Time (t)= ?

Interest earned = $112.50

The formula used is: Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t

Putting values and finding time

Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t\\112.50= 500\times 0.045\times t\\112.50=22.5 \times t\\t=\frac{112.50}{22.5}\\t=5

So, time t = 5

New Balance = Principal + Interest = 500+112.50 = $612.5

d) Principal (P) = ?

Rate (r) = 8% or 0.08

Time (t)= 2 years

Interest earned = 108.00

The formula used is: Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t

Putting values and finding Principal

Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t\\108=P\times 0.08 \times 2\\108=P\times 0.16\\P=\frac{108}{0.16}\\P=675

So, Principal Amount = $675

New Balance = Principal + Interest = 675+108 = $783

The point A(-3,5) and the point B(1,-15) lie on the line L. Find the equation of the line L.
Shkiper50 [21]
(-3,5)(1,-15)
slope = (-15 - 5) / (1 - (-3) = -20/4 = -5

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -5
use either of ur points...(-3,5)...x = -3 and y = 5
now we sub and find b, the y int
5 = -5(-3) + b
5 = 15 + b
5 - 15 = b
-10 = b
so ur equation is : y = -5x - 10....or 5x + y = -10
