The sum of twice a first number and five times a second number is 78. If the second number is subtracted from five times the first number the result is 33. Find the numbers.

Answers

Answer 1
The numbers are:  "9" and "12" .
___________________________________
Explanation:
___________________________________
Let:  "x" be the "first number" ; AND:

Let:  "y" be the "second number" .
___________________________________
From the question/problem, we are given:
___________________________________
     2x + 5y = 78 ;  → "the first equation" ; AND:

     5x − y = 33 ;  → "the second equation" .
____________________________________
From "the second equation" ; which is:

   " 5x − y = 33" ; 

→ Add "y" to EACH side of the equation; 

              5x − y + y = 33 + y ;

to get:  5x = 33 + y ; 

Now, subtract: "33" from each side of the equation; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "y" (in term of "x");

            5x − 33 = 33 + y − 33 ;

to get:   " 5x − 33 = y " ;    " y = 5x − 33 " .
_____________________________________________
Note:  We choose "the second equation"; because "the second equation"; that is;  "5x − y = 33" ;  already has a "y" value with no "coefficient" ; & it is easier to solve for one of our numbers (variables); that is, "x" or "y"; in terms of the other one; & then substitute that value into "the first equation".
____________________________________________________
Now, let us take "the first equation" ; which is:
  "  2x + 5y = 78 " ;
_______________________________________
We have our obtained value; " y = 5x − 33 " .
_______________________________________
We shall take our obtained value for "y" ; which is: "(5x− 33") ; and plug this value into the "y" value in the "first equation"; and solve for "x" ;
________________________________________________
Take the "first equation":
 ________________________________________________
      →   " 2x + 5y = 78 " ;  and write as:
________________________________________________ 
      →   " 2x + 5(5x − 33) = 78 " ;
________________________________________________
Note the "distributive property of multiplication" :
________________________________________________
     a(b + c) = ab + ac ; AND:

     a(b − c) = ab − ac .
________________________________________________
So; using the "distributive property of multiplication:

→   +5(5x − 33)  = (5*5x) − (5*33) =  +25x − 165 .
___________________________________________________
So we can rewrite our equation:

          →  " 2x + 5(5x − 33) = 78 " ;

by substituting the:  "+ 5(5x − 33) " ;  with:  "+25x − 165" ; as follows:
_____________________________________________________

          →  " 2x + 25x − 165 = 78 " ;
_____________________________________________________
→ Now, combine the "like terms" on the "left-hand side" of the equation:

              +2x + 25x = +27x ; 

Note:  There are no "like terms" on the "right-hand side" of the equation.
_____________________________________________________
    →  Rewrite the equation as:
_____________________________________________________
         →   " 27x − 165 = 78 " ;

      Now, add "165" to EACH SIDE of the equation; as follows:

         →    27x − 165 + 165 = 78 + 165 ;

        →  to get:      27x = 243  ;
_____________________________________________________
      Now, divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "27" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "x" ;
_____________________________________________________
               27x / 27  =  243 / 27 ; 

       →   to get:    x = 9 ; which is "the first number" .
_____________________________________________________
Now;    Let's go back to our "first equation" and "second equation" to solve for "y" (our "second number"):

     2x + 5y = 78 ; (first equation);
     
      5x − y = 33 ; (second equation); 
______________________________
Start with our "second equation"; to solve for "y"; plug in "9" for "x" ;

→ 5(9) − y = 33 ;  

    45 − y = 33;  
   
Add "y" to each side of the equation:
 
   45 − y + y = 33 + y ;  to get:

   45 = 33 + y ;  

↔ y + 33 = 45 ;  Subtract "33" from each side of the equation; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation ; & to solve for "y" ;  
 
 → y + 33 − 33  = 45 − 33 ;

to get:  y = 12 ;

So;  x = 9 ; and y = 12 .  The numbers are:  "9" and "12" .
____________________________________________
 To check our work:
_______________________
1)  Let us plug these values into the original "second equation" ; to see if the equation holds true (with "x = 9" ; and "y = 12") ; 

→ 5x − y = 33 ;  → 5(9) − 12 =? 33 ?? ;  → 45 − 12 =? 33 ?? ;  Yes!
________________________
2)  Let us plug these values into the original "second equation" ; to see if the equation holds true (with "x = 9" ; and "y = 12") ;

→ 2x + 5y = 78 ; → 2(9) + 5(12) =? 78?? ; → 18 + 60 =? 78?? ; Yes!
_____________________________________
So, these answers do make sense!

Why does a horizontal line have a slope of 0, but a vertical line has anundened slope?

Answers

The slope of a line is defined as the rate of change on the vertical axis, divided by the rate of change on the horizontal axis, Δy/Δx. So for a horizontal line, the rate of change on the y axis is zero, this means that it's slope will be 0/Δx and for vertical line, x-axis does not change, which make the denominator 0 Δy/0.

Write and equation of the line that passes through the point (2,4) and is perpendicular tothe line hows equation is 3y-6x+3

Answers

First, you need to find the slope of this new line.
It is perpendicular to the given line, which means the slope of this line is the negative reciprocal of this given line, so we need to find out the slope of the equation 3y=6x+3 
divide each side by 3, you'll get y=2x+1, so we know the slope is 2, which is 2/1
the slope for the new line should be -1/2, the negative reciprocal of 1/2
Next, use point-slope format to write your equation. Your point is (2,4) and your slope is -1/2, so you have
(y-4)=-1/2(x-2)
If you want to simplify it: y-4=-1/2x+1 => y=(-1/2)x+5


Identify the property that justifies the following statement: if 16m=160,then m=10

Answers

Division Property of Equality


16m = 160

 divide both sides by 16 to find m

m = 160/16 = 10

Answer:

Property of equality for division.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

[tex]16m=160[/tex]

So, we use one of the properties of equalities for division, which states that if we divide one side of the equation, we also must divide the other side by the same number, to not mess up the balance of the equation. Applying this property, we have

[tex]\frac{16m}{16}=\frac{160}{16}\\ m=10[/tex]

You deposit $2000 in an account that earns simple interest at an annual rate of 4%. How long must you leave the money in the account to earn $500 in interest?

Answers

To earn $500 in interest at a 4% annual rate, you need to leave $2000 in the account for approximately 6.25 years.

The formula for simple interest is given by:

[tex]\[ I = P \times r \times t \][/tex]

Where:

- I is the interest earned,

- P is the principal amount (initial deposit),

- r is the annual interest rate (expressed as a decimal), and

- t is the time the money is invested or borrowed in years.

In this case, you want to find t, so rearrange the formula to solve for t:

[tex]\[ t = \frac{I}{P \times r} \][/tex]

Given that P = $2000, r = 0.04 (4% as a decimal), and I = $500, plug these values into the formula:

[tex]\[ t = \frac{500}{2000 \times 0.04} \][/tex]

Calculate the result to find out how long you must leave the money in the account to earn $500 in interest.

[tex]\[ t = \frac{500}{2000 \times 0.04} \]\[ t = \frac{500}{80} \]\[ t = 6.25 \][/tex]

Therefore, you must leave the money in the account for approximately 6.25 years to earn $500 in interest at a simple annual rate of 4%.

The graph of f(x) = 2x3 – 19x2 + 57x – 54 is shown below. How many roots of f(x) are rational numbers

Answers

The root of the function is such point [tex]x_0,[/tex] for which [tex]f(x_0)=0.[/tex]

The attached graph of the function  [tex]f(x) = 2x^3 - 19x^2 + 57x - 54[/tex] shows, that the graph of the function intersects the x-axis in three points (2,0), (3,0) and (4.5,0).

This means that for

x=2, f(2)=0;x=3, f(3)=0;x=4.5, f(4.5).

Thus, x=2, x=3 and x=4.5 are rational roots of the polynomial function f(x).

Answer: three rational roots.

The polynomial function f(x) = 2x^3 - 19x^2 + 57x - 54 has three rational roots at x=2, x=3, and x=4.5, as confirmed by the graph intersecting the x-axis at these points.

The graph of the function f(x) = 2x^3 - 19x^2 + 57x - 54 intersects the x-axis at three points: (2,0), (3,0), and (4.5,0). This implies that x=2, x=3, and x=4.5 are the roots of the polynomial function.

Since these values are rational, the function has three rational roots. Rational roots occur when the function evaluates to zero for specific rational input values.

In this case, f(2) = 0, f(3) = 0, and f(4.5) = 0. The graph crossing the x-axis at these points confirms their status as roots. The polynomial f(x) has three rational roots, which are x = 2, x = 3, and x = 4.5.

Kiko is coasting on her bicycle down a hill. After 3 s, her speed is 10 m/s. After 8 s, her speed is 25 m/s. Her acceleration during this time will be  5 m/s².

What is acceleration?

Acceleration is the rate of change in both speed and direction of velocity over time. When anything moves faster or slower in a straight line, it is said to have been accelerated. Because the direction is always shifting, motion on a circle accelerates even while the speed is constant.

It is given that, Kiko is coasting on her bicycle down a hill. After 3 s, her speed is 10 m/s. After 8 s, her speed is 25 m/s.

Acceleration is found as the ratio of the change in speed to the change in a time interval.

Acceleration =  change in speed/ change in a time interval

Acceleration = (25-10) / (8-5)

Acceleration = (15)/(3)

Acceleration = 5 m/s²

Thus, Kiko is coasting on her bicycle down a hill. After 3 s, her speed is 10 m/s. After 8 s, her speed is 25 m/s. Her acceleration during this time will be  5 m/s².

BRIANLIEST ~
Part A: Amir rented a scooter at $43 for 3 hours. If he rents the same scooter for 8 hours, he has to pay a total rent of $113.

Write an equation in the standard form to represent the total rent (y) that Amir has to pay for renting the scooter for x hours. (4 points)

Part B: Write the equation obtained in Part A using function notation. (2 points)

Part C: Describe the steps to graph the equation obtained above on the coordinate axes. Mention the labels on the axes and the intervals. (4 points)


Answers

Part A

x = number of hours the scooter is rented
y = total rent (in dollars)

"Amir rented a scooter at $43 for 3 hours" means x = 3 and y = 43 giving the point (3,43)

"he rents the same scooter for 8 hours, he has to pay a total rent of $113" means x = 8 pairs up with y = 113. The second point is (8,113)

The two points (3,43) and (8,113) can be used to find the slope
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (113 - 43)/(8 - 3)
m = (70)/(5)
m = 14

The slope of 14 tells us that it costs $14 per hour to rent the scooter

If we simply consider the hourly cost of $14 per hour (and no additional fees), then the cost break down would look like this:
1 hour costs Amir $14
2 hours costs Amir $28 (2*14 = 28)
3 hours costs Amir $42 (3*14 = 42)

If we don't have any fixed costs, then it would cost Amir $42 total to rent the scooter for 3 hours. But it says the cost is actually 43 dollars. So the fixed cost, the y intercept, must be 1 dollar. Think of the $1 as the fee that Amir pays to get into the park or maybe as some kind of insurance. This fixed fee is not dependent on the number of hours Amir rents the scooter.

In other words, if m = 14, x = 3 and y = 43, then
y = mx+b
43 = 14*3+b
43 = 42+b
b = 1

Making the equation to be y = 14x+1

Answer: y = 14x+1

---------------------------------------------------------------

Part B

All we do here is go from y = 14x+1 to f(x) = 14x+1. We simply replace y with f(x) to get it into function notation.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Part C

The y intercept is 1 as this is the value of b in y = mx+b. Compare this to y = 14x+1.

Another way to look at this is that if we plug in x = 0 into y = 14x+1, we get y = 1. So the point (0,1) is on the function. This is where the graph crosses the y axis.

Starting at (0,1) go up 14 units and then to the right 1 unit. You'll arrive at (1,15) as the next point on this graph. Draw a straight line through (0,1) and (1,15) to complete the graph of y = 14x+1

You should have "number of hours" along the x axis and "cost (in dollars)" along the y axis for your proper labels. As for intervals, I would increment x by 1 each time (0, 1, 2, 3, ...) and increment y by 2 at the smallest or 5 at the largest. It will depend on your preference really.
