Answer:

The two numbers are 24 and 32

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the variable x

3x : 4x, would be a ratio of 3/4

now subtract 4 from both

3x - 4 : 4x - 4 = 5/7

3x-4 / 4x-4 = 5/7

cross multiplication

7(3x - 4) = 5(4x - 4)

21x - 28 = 20x - 20

x = 8

Two numbers are;

3x, 4x

3(8), 4(8)

24, 32

24/32 = 3/4

20/28 = 5/7

URGENT!!! Find the rectangular coordinates of the point with the polar coordinates.
abruzzese [7]

we have that

(r, ∅)----------> (-7, 5 pi/3)

we know that

5 pi/3--------> 300°-----------> -60°

To convert polar cordinates in rectangular one with use the following formula:

x=r*cos ∅------> x=-7*cos -60°-------> x=-7*(1/2)------> x=-7/2

y=r*sin ∅-------> y=-7*sin -60------->  y=-7*(-√3)/2----> y=7√3/2

the answer is the option

D) ordered pair negative 7 divided by 2 comma 7 square root 3 divided by 2

Question 1<br> Find the Mean of the following set of data values.<br> 46, 57, 68, 63, 49, 52, 61, 68
Zielflug [23.3K]
The mean would be 58!! Basically what you’re doing to get the mean is adding all of the numbers together and dividing by how many you’re adding. In this case, you would add all of the numbers and divide by 8 because you have 8 numbers ! :D
