Three times a first number decreased by a second number

Mathematics
1 answer:
ki77a [65]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The two numbers are 3 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3X-Y=12\\X + 4Y=17\\

Multiply top equation by 4 to cancel out the Ys

12X - 4Y = 48\\X + 4Y = 17\\\\13X = 65\\X = 5\\

Since X =5, we can plug it into either of the top two equations to find out the value of Y

3(5) - Y = 12\\15 - Y = 12\\Y = 3

To double check

3(5) - 3 \\15 - 3\\12\\\\5 + 4(3) \\5 + 12\\17

Paraphin [41]

Answer: 750 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The gas mileage is 75 miles per 1/2 gallon of gasoline.

First find how many miles it can go on 1 gallon of gasoline:

= 75 ÷ 1/2

= 150 miles

If the scooter can go 150 miles on 1 gallon, the number of miles it will go on 5 gallons is:

= 5 * 150

= 750 miles

Please Help Me with this problem
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

AEB =305° as stated below

Step-by-step explanation:

AEB is the larger area starting A to EB and missing out the small AB area

EC = 180° = supplementary we label 87° angle to P.

P+ BCD = 87, + 38 = 125°

ABCD = 180°

180 - BCD = 180-125°

AB = 55°

Therefore AEB = 360-55=305°
