Answer:

  • a = 22
  • b = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Let a = the first number

Let b = the second number

Equations

a + b = 39

b = 1/2 * a + 6

Put the second equation into the first one

a + 1/2 * a +   6 = 39                  Simplify the left.

(3/2)a + 6 = 39                           Subtract 6 from both sides

(3/2)a + 6 - 6 = 39 - 6                Combine

(3/2)a = 33                                  Multiply both sides by 2

3a = 33*2

3a = 66                                       Divide both sides by 3

3a/3 = 66/3

a = 22

b = 1/2 a + 6

a = 22

b = 1/2 * 22 + 6

b = 11 + 6

b = 17

Check

22 + 17 = 39

The table represents a function. What is the value of f(–1)?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer : C

we need to  the value of f(–1)

Table is given in the question

From the table ,

f(x) = 4 when x= -5, that is f(-5) = 4

f(x) = 0 when x= -1, that is f(-1) =0

f(x)= -1 when x=6, that is f(6) = -1

f(x)= -3 when x=9, that is f(9) = -3

So, the value of f(–1) = 0

Please help I literally don’t understand this at all
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

x=13 y=10 z=3 d) 260

Step-by-step explanation:

vertex angles are congruent so you can set them equal to each other and solve

and then a straight like adds up to 180 so 180-(7(x-3)+5y)= your missing angle and then that angles is congruent to its opposite so 2(5z+15)=60

What is -3.75 in the simplest form
NARA [144]
There is no simplest form for a decimal. You can only simplify equations and fractions, not decimals. For example, could you simplify 1? I don't think you could. Well, it's the same concept for -3.75.
Hope that answered your question.

What is the mass of a cylinder of lead with a radius of 2 centimeters and a height of 6 centimeters, given that the density of l
ycow [4]

The mass of lead cylinder is: 859.10 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the mass of a cylinder we have to find the volume first

Given

Radius = r = 2 cm

Height = h = 6 cm

The volume of cylinder is given by:

V = \pi r^2h

Putting the values

V = 3.14 * (2)^2 * 6\\= 3.14*4*6\\=75.36\ cm^3

Now,

Density of lead per cm^3 = 11.4g

Mass\ of\ cylinder = Volume*Density\\= 75.36*11.4\\=859.10\ grams

The mass of lead cylinder is: 859.10 grams

Keywords: Volume, Density
