Here are the steps, hope it helps!
This is a sum and difference problem, with the equations
R-N=35
R+N=635
The solution of which is
R=(635+35)/2=335
N=(635-35)/2=300
In general, the sum and difference problem can be solved (most of the time mentally) using
Larger number = (sum + difference)/2
Smaller number = (sum - difference)/2
I got B but I'll show you how I got that answer.
Let's look at AB and BC. AB = 3 and BC = 4.
3/4 = 0.75
On the triangle, AB = 90. And BC = 10x - 20. We need to solve for x and prove that AB/BC = 0.75.
Let's start with Choice A.
10(11) - 20 = 90.
AB = 90
BC = 90.
90/90 = 1. It doesn't equal 0.75. Meaning this answer is wrong.
Now let's look at Choice B.
10(14) - 20 = 120.
AB = 90
BC = 120
90/120 = 0.75
So, 3:4 = 90:120 making Choice B the correct Answer. Let me know if this is correct
Answer:
x = 3.4
y = 1.4
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3y = 11
2y = 13 – 3x, then y = (13 - 3x)/2
substitute for y:
2x + 3((13 - 3x)/2) = 11
reduce:
2x + (39 - 9x)/2 = 11
reduce:
2x + 19.5 - 4.5x = 11
subtract 19.5 from both sides of the equation and combine for x:
-2.5x = -8.5
divide both sides by -2.5:
x = 3.4
y = (13 - 3(3.4))/2 = (13 - 10.2)2 = 1.4
I would think the answer is 3, sorry if i cant help.
