Let the first number be "x", and the 2nd number (which is twice as large as the other), be 2x.

Set the equation

2x + x = 36

Simplify. Combine like terms

(2x + x) = 36

3x = 36

Isolate the x. Divide 3 from both sides

(3x)/3 = (36)/3

x = 36/3

x = 12

The first number is 12

The second number is 2x. Replace x with 12. Multiply.

2x = 2(12) = 24

The second number is 24

Check: 12 + 24 = 36 (True)

Answer: 12 & 24

A straight line y = mx + c is parallel to y = 3x +2
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

m = 3 and c = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x + 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with m = 3

• Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line

To find c substitute (1, 2) into the partial equation

2 = 3 + c ⇒ c = 2 - 3 = - 1

y = 3x - 1 ← equation of parallel line

with m = 3 and c = - 1

The angles of a pentagon are in ratio
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

  216°

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the sum of smallest and largest to the total of all angles is ...

  (9 +15)/(9 +10 +12 +14 +15) = 24/60 = 0.4

__

The total of all angles in an n-gon is 180°(n -2), so the total of all angles in a pentagon is ...

  180°(5 -2) = 540°

Then the sum of smallest and largest angles is ...

  0.4(540°) = 216°
