The difference between two numbers is 5, and 2 times the lesser number is 18 more than the greater number. Find the numbers.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Let x and y be the numbers, with x the larger one.

x - y = 5

2y = x + 18

Then solve this system of equations:

x - y = 5

x - 2y = -18

Subtract bottom equation from top equation and get

y = 23

So x = y + 5 = 23 + 5 = 28

Answer:

  x = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle marked 125° is angle DPE. The (vertical) angle formed from the rays opposite PD and PE is angle BPA. That angle is divided into two parts by ray PC. One of those parts is angle CPA, shown as 90°. The other part is angle CPB, shown as x°. This means ...

  angle DPE = angle BPA . . . . vertical angles have the same measure

  125° = 90° +x°

  35 = x . . . . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 90

Solve.

Is there anymore words?

Answer:

I'm not answering but i can help you :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180°.

The two angles of a linear pair, like ∠1  and  ∠2 in the figure below, are always supplementary.

But, two angles need not be adjacent to be supplementary. In the next figure, ∠3  and  ∠4 are supplementary, because their measures add to 180°.

Example 1:

Two angles are supplementary. If the measure of the angle is twice the measure of the other, find the measure of each angle.

Let the measure of one of the supplementary angles be a .

Measure of the other angle is 2 times a.

So, measure of the other angle is 2a.

If the sum of the measures of two angles is 180°, then the angles are supplementary.

So, a+2a=180°

Simplify.

3a=180°

To isolate a, divide both sides of the equation by 3.

3a3=180°3    a=60°

The measure of the second angle is,

2a=2×60°       =120°

So, the measures of the two supplementary angles are 60° and 120°.

Example 2:

Find m∠P  and  m∠Q if ∠P  and  ∠Q are supplementary, m∠P=2x+15, and m∠Q=5x−38.

The sum of the measures of two supplementary angles is 180°.

So, m∠P+m∠Q=180°

Substitute 2x+15 for m∠P and 5x−38 for m∠Q.

2x+15+5x−38=180°

Combine the like terms. We get:

7x−23=180°

Add 23 to both sides. We get:

7x=203°

Divide both sides by 7.

7x7=203°7

Simplify.

x=29°

To find m∠P, substitute 29 for x in 2x+15.

2(29)+15=58+15

Simplify.

58+15=73

So, m∠P=73°.

To find m∠Q, substitute 29 for x in 5x−38.

5(29)−38=145−38

Simplify.

145−38=107

So, m∠Q=107°.

The angles in a triangle are in the ratio 3:2:1.
a) Show that the triangle is a right-angled triangle
b) The hypotenuse of the triangle is 25 cm long.
Calculate the length of the shortest side in the triangle

Answers

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

sum the parts of the ratio, 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 parts

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°  , then

180° ÷ 6 = 30° ← value of 1 part of the ratio , then

3 parts = 3 × 30° = 90°

2 parts = 2 × 30° = 60°

1 part = 30°

The angles in the triangle are 90°, 60°, 30°

Thus the triangle is right angled

(b)

The shortest side is opposite the smallest angle, that is opposite 30°

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle and the exact value

sin30° = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

sin30° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{opposite}{25}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

2 × opposite = 25 ( divide both sides by 2 )

opposite = 12.5

That is shortest side is 12.5 cm

Answer:

  x = -9, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides are marked congruent, so you have ...

  x^2 +5x = 36

Subtracting 36 puts this in standard form:

  x^2 +5x -36 = 0

To factor this, you need to find factors of -36 that have a sum of 5.

  -36 = (-1)(36) = (-2)(18) = (-3)(12) = (-4)(9) = (-6)(6)

The sums of these factor pairs are 35, 16, 9, 5, 0.

The pair with a sum of 5 is (-4)(9), so the factorization of the quadratic is ...

  (x -4)(x +9) = 0

The solutions are the values of x that make the factors zero:

  x = 4, x = -9

Both of these solutions work in this problem.

If you earn both hourly wages and a commission at your job, your gross wages, w, can be calculated with the following equation:

where c is your commission rate, s is your total sales in dollars, r is your hourly rate, and h is your hours worked.
Solve for s to rewrite the equation for total sales. ​

Answers

The equation that is used to represent (s) the total sales is s = (w - rh)/c

An equations is used to show the relationship between two or more variables.

Given the equation:

cs + rh = w

To solve for s, we have to make s the subject of the equation:

cs + rh = w

subtract rh from both sides:

cs + rh - rh = w - rh

cs = w - rh

Divide both sides by c:

cs/c = (w - rh)/c

s = (w - rh)/c

The equation that is used to represent (s) the total sales is s = (w - rh)/c

I need a variable, equation, and the solution. Pls help!!!

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

that is so simple, it is already difficult to make it formal, because there are only so few things to deal with. you really need help with this ?

you are not familiar with the situation "hey, this costs $10, we are 5 people, if we buy and then use it together, each one has to pay $2" ?

and this is just the other way around : if 5 people paid $2, how much did they pay together ? $10.

let's make it super formal :

price p = Allen contribution a + brother1 contribution b + brother2 contribution c

p = a + b + c

a = b = c = $32.30

p = $32.30 + $32.30 + $32.30 = 3×$32.30 = $96.90

Answer:

y intercept is (0, -4)

equation is y = x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is rise/run which you can find by choosing "any" two points on the line. For instance (0,-4) and (4,0)

The rise is the difference in y direction: 0 - - 4 = 4, the graph "rises" by 4.

The run is the difference in x direction: 4 - 0 = 4, the graph "runs" by 4.

So the slope is 4/4 = 1.

The y intercept is the point on the y axis where the line passes through. This is (0,-4). The intercept value is y= - 4.

The equation is slope times x plus y intercept value.

So putting this all together gives you an equation of
