Let x = the first number
      y = the second number
-------------------------------------
First: set up the equations.

Four times a first number: 4x
Decreased by a second number: - y
Is 4: = 4

4x - y = 4.

The first number increased by: x + 
three times the second number: 3y
is -25: = -25

x + 3y = -25.
------------------------
You can make your system of equations now.

4x - y = 4
x + 3y = -25

I would use substitution to solve these.

To do substitution, isolate a variable first, in one of the equations. I would probably isolate x in the second equation.

x + 3y = -25
x = -25 - 3y

Now, you can substitute -25 - 3y into 4x - y = 4, as x.

4x - y = 4
4(-25 - 3y) - y = 4

Now just solve for y.

-100 - 12y - y = 4
-13y = 104
y = -8

Now, you can put -8 as y into one of the original equations, I'll just use 4x - y = 4.

4x -  y = 4
4x - (-8) = 4
4x + 8 = 4
4x = -4
x = -1

So the first number is -1, and the second -2.

let x be 1st no. and y be the 2nd no.

so 4x - y = 4

and x + 3y = -25

re-arrange first eqn y = 4x - 4

substitute y into second eqn

x + 3(4x - 4) = -25

13x - 12 = -25

13x = -13

x = -1

y = 4(-1 - 1) = -8

What is the lcm of 4 and 5
timama [110]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

4 * 1 = 4        5 * 1 = 5

4 * 2 = 8        5 * 2 = 10

4* 3 = 12        5 * 3 = 15

4 * 4 = 16       5 * 4 = 20

4 * 5 = 20


they both go into 20 equally. there is no number lower than 20 that they both go into

Help me please AS soon as possible please just this one question

Answer:

The largest side of given triangle is: AB

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the largest side, we have to find all the triangles first.

The two angles at point A will sum up to 180° as the angles on the straight line are supplementary.

So,

136 + Angle\ A = 180\\Angle\ A = 180-136 = 44

∠A = 44°

∠C = 71°

The sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°

Using this:

∠A+∠B+∠C = 180°

44°+∠B+71° = 180°

∠B+115° = 180°

∠B = 180°-115°

∠B = 65°

In a triangle, the side opposite to the largest angle is the largest. In the given triangle, ∠C is the largest so the side AB which is opposite to ∠C is the largest.

Hence,

The largest side of given triangle is: AB

I need help on this
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Which is the closest to 6

\sqrt{34}

\sqrt{39\\

\sqrt{35

or \sqrt{38}

So, find the square root of each ( I suggest using a calculator)

\sqrt{34} = 5.83\\\sqrt{39} = 6.24\\\sqrt{35} = 5.91 \\\sqrt{38} = 6.16

Which is closest? Let's see.

6 - 5.83 = 0.17

6.24 - 6 = 0.24

6 - 5.91 = 0.09

6.16 - 6 = 0.16

Find the smallest #

0.09 is the smallest, so 5.91 is the closest. Square the #, we get \sqrt{35}

Hope this helps! =D
