Answer:

12 and 48

Step-by-step explanation:

let one number be x then the other number is 4x ( 4 times larger )

the sum of the 2 numbers is 60, thus

x + 4x = 60

5x = 60 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 12

the 2 numbers are x = 12 and 4x = 4 × 12 = 48

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will let the smaller of the two numbers be x

Then, the larger number will be 4x

Then we can use this info to solve for x:

x+4x=60

5x=60

x=12

4x=4*12

4x=48

The two numbers are 12 and 48!!! :)

Small squares with sides 4 cm were cut from each of the corners of a square piece of cardboard. Then it was folded into an open-

melomori [17]

Let the length and width of the square board be x cm, when 4 cm are cut of from the corner, the dimensions of the box will be:'
length=(x-8) cm
width=(x-8) cm
height=x cm
thus the volume will be:
4(x-8)(x-8)=144
4(x^2-16x+64)=144
this can be written into:
x^2-16x^2+64=36
solving the above gives us:
x=2 or x=14
when x=2, the dimensions will be negative. Thus we take x=14 cm, the original dimensions are 14 cm by 14 cm

You start driving north for 6 miles, turn right, and drive east for another 19 miles. At the end of driving, what is your straig

Anton [14]

Answer:

Okay, here's the method I'm going to use.

If you drive north 6 miles, and then drive east 19 miles, you are technically making a triangle.

19 miles

l_______________

6 milesl

You are just missing the last side of the triangle: the straight line stretching from across your starting point to the ending point. You can find this by using the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

6^2 + 19^2 = c^2

36 + 361 = c

397 = c

$\sqrt{397}$ = 19.924859

Rounded to the nearest tenth, your answer is

19.9 miles
