Two numbers x and y, have a sum of 23 and a difference of 7. x is greater than y
a. write two equations in x and y
b. solve your equations to find to values of x and y

please tell me the answer and explain how you got it thanks

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the elimination method:

a.   x + y = 23

     x - y = 7

b.  Adding the 2 equations eliminates y, so we have

     2x = 30

        x = 15.

     Substitute x = 15 in equation a:

      15 + y = 23

         y = 23 - 15

        y =  8.

       Answer x = 15, y = 6.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

this is what you are told in the problem

x+y=23............1 (the sum)

x-y=7.................2 (the difference)

PS make sure to number your equations

in equation 1 we can take x over so that we form a new equation labelled equation 3

y=23-x...........3

sub 3 into 2

x-(23-x)=7

x-23+x=7

2x=7+23

2x=30

x=15.........4

sub 4 into 1

15+y=23

y=23-15

y=8

A group of marine biologists on a marine expedition recorded the altitudes at which they found four animals. Which inequality correctly compares the altitudes at which they found the animals?

Creature Altitude (feet)
great white shark -430
sea urchin -452
sea turtle -502
garden eel -396
A.
sea turtle < sea urchin < great white shark < garden eel
B.
garden eel < sea urchin < great white shark < sea turtle
C.
great white shark < sea urchin < sea turtle < garden eel
D.
garden eel < great white shark < sea urchin < sea turtle
E.
sea turtle < great white shark < sea urchin < garden eel

Answers

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that if the number is negative then the smaller the number is greater. Ex :-

-7 > -10

So,

Arranging the given altitude in descending order

-396 > -430 > -452 > -502

Hence,

The highest altitude is of garden eel. Then of great white shark. Afterward the altitude of sea urchin. At last the lowest altitude is of sea turtle

Where is the question??

I am asking how this is when I found the median is 14!

Answers

Hi there!

2  3  5  5  9  11  13  14  14  17  20  22  24  28

If we count up the numbers, we find that there are 14 numbers. This means that we must take the average of the middle two numbers to find a median since the amount of numbers is not odd.

Count 6 from both sides and we get the middle two numbers to be:

13  14  

Take the average:

(13 + 14)/2 = 13.5

**This must be done if the amount of numbers given is EVEN.**

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are an even number of entries that make up the Data Set. (14 entries)

When you have an even number, you take the two entries that are at the center to find the median.

The values at the middle are entry seven which is 13 and entry eight, which is 14.

Now average these two. You get (13 + 14)/2 = 27 / 2 = 13.5

Otherwise I think you are correct.

The proportional relationship between the number of hours Taylor works, h, and her total earnings in dollars and cents, e, can be represented by the equation e=15.9he=15.9h. How much does she make in dollars and cents per hour?

Answers

The amount she makes in an hour is $15.90.

The amount Taylor earns is directly proportional to the hours Taylor works.

The equation that can be used to represent direction proportion is:

y = kx

where:

y = dependent variable

k = constant of proportionality

x = independent variable

e = 15.9h

Amount earned in an hour

e = 15.9(1)

e = $15.90

A recipe that serves 6 people calls for 1 1/2 cups of sugar. Suppose you have 9 cups of sugar. Do you have enough to make the recipe for 40 people?

Answers

You do NOT have enough cups of sugar for 40 people
If a recipe calls for 1 1/2 OR 1.5 (decimal form) for 6 people then:
1.5/6 = 0.25 cups of sugar PER person

0.25 x 40 = 10 cups
We will need 10 cups of sugar for 40 people but the we only have 9 cups
therefore 9 cups arent enough for 40 ppl

The sum of a number and negative three, multiplied by the number? ​

Answers

Answer:

x² - 3

This expression is not linear

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = unknown number

The sum of a number and negative 3

Sum = addition

We are adding the unknown number "x" and -3

So we have x + (-3) or just x - 3

The sum of that is multiplied by the unknown number

So we get ( x - 3 ) x

We can then simplify this expression to get  x² - 3x

Any expression with an exponent is not linear. Refer to the attached image for more validation. A linear expression would create a straight line. The expression x² - 3x creates a curved line

Solve each equation
6y-8-6-8y=4

Answers

Answer:

y = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms first; 6y-8y=-2y and -8-6=-14  

-2y-14=4.

Then add 14 to both sides.

-2y=18

Lastly, divide both sides by -2

y=-9

Answer: = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

1. subtract -8-6 which equals -14

2. Combine like terms which are -8y and 6y and you should get -2y

3. Add 14 on both sides eliminate the -14 on one side. it should be -2y = 18

4. Now you want to get y all on its own so you divide -2 on both sides -2y/2 = 18/-2

5. and you should be able to cancel out -2y and get y= -9

find the equation to this line.​

5/6+3/4+2/3 answer please

Answers

Answer:

2.25

Explanation

2/3 can be made into 4/6 then added to 5/6

Grab 5/6 and add it to 3/4, we do this by making them have the same bottom number (denominator) so we multiply 9/6 (4/6 + 5/6) by 2 (both top and bottom number) so now we have 18/12 + 4/6 so now we can make 4 be 12 by multiplying it by 3, but we need to do that to the top number as well to make it balanced, so now we have 18/12 + 9/12 and we get 27/12 or 2.25.
