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

What is 2r - 6r 8 = 40?
Anit [1.1K]
Well first you have to add common like terms in this case 2r and -6r to get -4r now your equation is -4r+8=40, now subtract 8 from both sides to leave r by itself and get -4r=32, now divide both sides by -4 to get r=-8

Hope this helps

Yanka [14]

Answer:

88.02 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle with the horizontal, θ =25°

Initial velocity, v = 60 mph

1 mph = 1.467 ft/s

60 mph = 60 × 1.467 ft/s = 88.02 ft/s

Vertical component, v sin θ = 88.02 sin 25° = 37.2 ft/s

Horizontal component, v cos θ = 88.02 cos 25°= 79.8 ft/s
