Answer x = 12 and y = 9
Step by step
First identify the equations
The sum of two numbers is 21
x + y = 21
Change to y intercept for ease of math
y = 21 - x ( call this equation a)
Three times the larger is equal to four times the smaller
3x = 4y (call this equation b)
Now substitute the value of y = 21 -x into equation b
3x = 4(21-x)
Distribute
3x = 84 - 4x
Now we want to isolate x by adding 4x to each side
3x + 4x = 84 -4x + 4x
Combine like terms
7x = 84
Now solve for x by dividing both sides by 7
x = 12

Now to find y
Using equation a from above
y = 21 - x
Substitute our x value of 12 into equation
y = 21 - 12
solve for y
y = 9
Now check your work
x = 12 and y = 9
The sum of two numbers is 21
12 + 9 = 21

Three times the larger (x) is equal to four times the smaller (y)
3x12 = 4x9
36 = 36

The volume of a cube is the length of one side cubed, therefore the side length of the cube is the cubed root of the volume. Using a calculator to find the cubed root, you find that it is 0.4 meters, or answer C.

Therefore the solution is 0.4 meters; answer C.

Answer:

De Morgan's Theorem, T12, is a particularly powerful tool in digital design. The theorem explains that the complement of the product of all the terms is equal to the sum of the complement of each term. Likewise, the complement of the sum of all the terms is equal to the product of the complement of each term.

A section of a rectangle is shaded. The area of the shaded section is 63 square units. What is the value of x?
ella [17]

Answer:

x=11  

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a graph of a rectangle. The area of the shaded section is 63 square units. We are asked to find the value of x.

We can see from our given graph that shaded section forms a trapezoid, so we will use area of trapezoid formula to find the value of x.

\text{Area of trapezoid}=\frac{(a+b)}{2}\times h, where, a and b represents the parallel sides of trapezoid and h represents height of trapezoid.

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

63=\frac{7+x}{2}\times 7

63=(7+x)*3.5

Upon dividing both sides of our equation by 3.5 we will get,

\frac{63}{3.5}=\frac{(7+x)*3.5}{3.5}

18=7+x

Let us subtract 7 from both sides of our equation.

18-7=7-7+x

11=x

Therefore, the value of x is 11 units.
