X + y = 22
x = 3y + 2

3y + 2 + y = 22
4y + 2 = 22
4y = 22 - 2
4y = 20
y = 20/4
y = 5

x = 3y + 2 = 3(5) + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17

ur numbers are 5 and 17

Let the number be x.

Hence the other number is 2 + 3*x.

Their sum is 22;

x + 2 + 3x = 22

4x + 2 = 22

4x = 20

 Therefore, x = 5

[ 2 + 3x = 2 + 3*5 = 2+15 = 17 ]

Hence the two numbers are, 5 and 17.

Answer:

150^o

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Distribute the plus</u>

<u />(x + 15)^o + (135 - x)^o

x + 15 + 135 - x

<u>Step 2:  Combine like terms</u>

<u />x + 15 + 135 - x

(x - x)^o + (15 + 135)^o

0 + 150^o

150^o

The height of a triangle is half the length of its base. The area of the triangle is 12.25cm. Find the height
pentagon [3]
Answer:  The height of the triangle is:  " 3.5 cm " .
_______________________________________________________
<u>
Note</u>:
 The formula/equation for the area, "A" , of a triangle is:

           A = (1/2) * b * h  ;  or write as:  A = (b * h) / 2 ; 
_________________________________________________
 in which:   "A = area of the triangle" ; 
                  "b = base length" ; 
                  "h = "[perpendicular] height" ; 
_________________________________________________
     Given:  h = (b/2) ;
                  A = 12.25 cm²
{Note:  Let us assume that the given area was "12.25 cm² " .}. 
_________________________________________________
 We are to find the height, "h" ; 

The formula for the Area, "A", is:   A = (b * h) / 2 ; 

Let us rearrange the formula ;
 to isolate the "h" (height) on one side of the equation; 

→ Multiply EACH side of the equation by "2" ; to eliminate the "fraction" ; 

2*A = [ (b * h) / 2 ] * 2 ; 

   to get:   " 2A = b * h " ; 

↔    " b * h = 2A " ; 

Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "b" ; to isolate "h" on one side of the equation: 

        →  (b * h) / b  = (2A) / b ; 

to get: 
  
        →   h  =  2A / b ; 

Since  "h = b/2" ; subtitute "b/2" for "h" ; 
 
Plug in:  "12.25 cm² " for "A" ;

       →  b/2  =  2A/b ;   →  Note:  " 2A/b = [2* (12.25 cm²) ] / b " ;

Note:  " 2* (12.25 cm²) = 24.5 cm² ; 

Rewrite as: 

       →  b/2  =  (24.5 cm²) / b ;
_____________________________________
Cross-multiply:   b*b = (24.5 cm²) *2 ; 

to get:   b² = 49 cm² ; 

Take the "positive square root" of each side of the equation" ; 
            to isolate "b" on one side of the equation ; & to solve for "b" ; 

             →  +√(b²)  =  +√(49 cm²) ; 

             →  b = 7 cm ; 

Now, we want to solve for "h" (the height) :
_________________________________________________________
             →  h = b / 2 = 7 cm / 2 = 3.5 cm ; 
_________________________________________________________
Answer:  The height of the triangle is:  " 3.5 cm <span>" .
