One number is equal to two times a second number. Two times the first number plus two times the second number is 24. If you let x stand for the first number and y for the second, what are the two numbers? A. x = 24, y = 12
B. x = 12, y = 6
C. x = 8, y = 4
D. x = –24, y = –12

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

Option C is correct x=8 and y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given two numbers first number is x and second number is y

From first case one number is equal to two times a second number we will get

$x=2y$ (1)

From second case two times the first number plus two times the second number is 24 we will get

$2x+2y=24$ (2)

On solving equation (1) and (2) by substituting $x=2y$ in equation (2) we will get

$2(2y)+2y=24$

After simplification we will get

$4y+2y=24$

$\Rightarrow 6y=24$

$\Rightarrow y=4$

Now, substitute $y=4\text{in} x=2y$ we will get

$\Rightarrow x=2(4)=8$

Therefore, Option C is correct x=8 and y=4

Answer 2

Answer: 1 number is 2 times second number
x is 2 times y
x=2y
2 times first plus 2 times second is 24
2x+2y=24

x=2y
sub
2x+x=24
3x=24
divide 3
x=8
sub
x=2y
8=2y
divide 2
4=y

x=8
y=4

C is answer

What is f(5) for the function f(x)=-9x-10

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

In this form, x = 5.

so we'll substitute 5 in for x...

f(5) = -9(5) -10

f(5) = -45 -10

f(5) = -55

essentially saying, when x = 5, y = -55

how can you write the expression 2 − (p 6) in words? a two minus the sum of p and six b two added to the difference of p and six c the difference of two and p times six d the sum of two and p added to six

Answers

If you would like to write the expression 2 - (p + 6) in words, you can do this using the following step:

p + 6 ... the sum of p and six
2 - ... two minus
2 - (p + 6) ... two minus the sum of p and six

The correct result would be: a. two minus the sum of p and six.

What force is exerted on a test charge of 3.25 E−5 C, if it is placed in an electric field of magnitude 1.40 E4 N/C? Remember to identify all data (givens and unknowns), list equations used, show all your work, and include units and the proper number of significant digits to receive full credit.

Answers

Answer:

0.46 newtons

Step-by-step explanation:

For these kinds of problems, you can employ the formula

$E=(F)/(q)$

where E represents the field in N/C, F represents the force in newtons, and q represents the charge in coulombs. You can therefore set up the following equation:

$1.4* 10^4 N/C=(F)/(3.25* 10^(-5)C) \n\n$
