Answer:

30 and 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Put this question into equation form:

Let x be the smaller number, if the larger number is 5 more and the total is 65:

x + 5 + x = 65

2x + 5 = 65

Subtract 5 from both sides

2x + 5 - 5 = 65 - 5

2x = 60

Divide both sides by 2:

2x ÷ 2 = 60 ÷ 2

x = 30

As the larger number is 5 bigger:

30 + 5 = 35

So the two numbers are 30 and 35.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Small number 30

Large Number 35

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of x and y is 65. In other words, x plus y equals 65 and can be written as equation A:

x + y = 65

The difference between x and y is 5. In other words, x minus y equals 5 and can be written as equation B:

x - y = 5

Now solve equation B for x to get the revised equation B:

x - y = 5

x = 5 + y

Then substitute x in equation A from the revised equation B and then solve for y:

x + y = 65

5 + y + y = 65

5 + 2y = 65

2y = 60

y = 30

Now we know y is 30. Which means that we can substitute y for 30 in equation A and solve for x:

x + y = 65

x + 30 = 65

X = 35

Therefore the large and small number us 35 and 30 respectively.

What is the slope of a line whose graph is parallel to the graph of -3x+y=2?
liq [111]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if the lines are parallel they have the same gradient.

rearrange the equation to make y the subject and then use the m value as gradient.

-3x=2-y

-3x-2=-y

y=-(-3x-2)

y=3x+2

therefore m=3

slope is 3

Answer:

1/2x^2 -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The first equation is 1/2x^2 + 1 and since this equation is the first one minus 4 1-4= -3 so you would get this new equation.

Help me to solve this fast ( prove it)
Harrizon [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

sec⁴A + tan⁴A = 1 + (2tan²A/cos²A)

LHS = sec⁴A + tan⁴A

= (sec²A)² + (tan²A)² {using formula of a²+b²)

= (sec²A-tan²A) + 2tan²A.sec²A

= 1 + {2tan²A.(1/cos²A)}

= 1 + (2tan²A/cos²A)
