The sum of two numbers is 51. The smaller number is 17 less than the larger number. What are the numbers?
Larger number
smaller number

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

smaller number = 17, larger number = 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the smaller number and y be the larger nuber

x + y = 51 --(1)

y - 17 = x  --(2)

Sub (2) into (1)

y - 17 + y = 51

y = 34

Put y = 34 into (2)

34 - 17 = x

x = 17

Ans: smaller number = 17, larger number = 34

Answer 2

Answer:

Let get large number is x and small number as y.

sum of two numbers is 51.(small number + large number = 51)

ie. x +y =51 --------(1)

The smaller number is 17 less than the larger number.

x-y = 17 ------------(2)

(1) +(2);

(x + y ) + (x - y) = 51 +17

2x = 68

x=34

Substituted for (1);

x + y =51

34 + y =51

y= 51  -34

y= 17

Maggie draws a triangle with a right angle. The other two angles have equal measures. What are the possible values of the exterior angles for Maggie's triangle? Explain.

Answers

The answer is 30 because a right angle is 90 degrees unless the other angle already has a number then you need to tell me that

Answer:

135°, 135° and 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given a triangle with a right angle (90°) and the other two angles have equal measures, so they are both (45°)

exterior angles are thus 180 - 45, 180 - 45, 180 - 90

which are 135°, 135° and 90°.

How do I solve these questions and can I have one of the answers ​

Answers

Answer:

ok-

first thing to do is break the shapes into regular shapes that you already know how to figure the area of. so, #1 and #2 become an upright rectangle with a square attached to the bottom. #? is a rectangle with a semicircle at each end. #5 is a rectangle with a triangle up top... etc.

then, you figure the area of each part and add them all together.

let's look at #1:

right away, I see a square sticking off the right side that is 20x20- so that part is 400sq inches

then, I see the remainder as a rectangle that is 23x22.

23x22=506sq inches

then, add the 2 parts together.

506+400= 906sq inches total.

hope that helps!

Answers

Answer:

x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

[tex]h^{-1}[/tex] (x) = 2x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

let y = h(x) and rearrange making x the subject

y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x + 3 ( multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction )

2y = x + 6 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

2y - 6 = x

Change y back into terms of x with x = [tex]h^{-1}[/tex] (x)

[tex]h^{-1}[/tex] (x) = 2x - 6

Add.
(a2+6)+(4a+6)

What is the answer?

Answers

Look at the explanation to understand the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1.

Rewrite (a2) in a2 + 6 so the a is before 2

(a2 + 6) + (4a + 6) ⇒ (2a + 6) + (4a + 6)

Step 2.

We'll need to organize 2a + 6 + 4a + 6 into groups of like terms, so we can combine them easier.

They're two groups of like terms in the expression.

First group: 2a and 4a

Second group: 6 and 6

Now, rewrite it so the 6 is added by the other 6.

2a + 4a + 6 + 6

Step 3.

We'll need to combine like terms in 2a + 4a + 6 + 6 by adding all the numerical coefficients and copying the literal parts, if any. No numerical coefficient implies value of 1. Numerical 'like' terms will be added.

We already know the groups with like terms.

First group: 2a and 4a

Second group: 6 and 6

Let's solve.

2a + 4a = 6a

6 + 6 = 12

Combine 6a and 12 up and you'll get your answer.

6a + 12 is the answer.

Answer:

3, 1, - 1, - 3 and - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the first 4 terms substitute n = 1, 2, 3, 4 into the rule, that is

a₁ = 5 - 2(1) = 5 - 2 = 3

a₂ = 5 - 2(2) = 5 - 4 = 1

a₃ = 5 - 2(3) = 5 - 6 = - 1

a₄ = 5 - 2(4) = 5 - 8 = - 3

The first 4 terms are 3, 1, - 1, - 3

For 10th term substitute n = 10 into the rule

a₁₀ = 5 - 2(10) = 5 - 20 = - 15
