--------------------------------------------
Define x and y :
--------------------------------------------
Let one number be x.
Let the other number be y.

--------------------------------------------
Construct equation :
--------------------------------------------
x + y = 24
x ÷ y = 3

--------------------------------------------
Solve for x and y :
--------------------------------------------
x + y = 24 ------------------- (1)
x ÷ y = 3 --------------------- (2)

--------------------------------------------
From equation 1 :
--------------------------------------------
x + y = 24
x = 24 - y 

--------------------------------------------
Sub x = 24 - y into 2 :
--------------------------------------------
x ÷ y = 3               // Equation 2
(24 - y) ÷ y = 3      // Sub x = 24
24 - y = 3y            // Multiply by y on both sides
24 = 4y                 // Add y to both sides
4y = 24                 // Switch side, make y the subject
y = 6                     // Divide by 4 on both sides

--------------------------------------------
Sub y = 6 into equation 1 :
--------------------------------------------
x + y = 24            // Equation 1
x + 6 = 24            // sub y = 6
x = 18                  // Take away 6 from both sides

--------------------------------------------
Find the two numbers :
--------------------------------------------
One number = x = 18
The one number = y = 6

------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The two numbers are 18 and 6.

Find the area of the circle. Leave your answer in terms of π.
seraphim [82]

Answer:

4π

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to calculate the area of a circle whose diameter is equal to 4, we know that the area of the circle is given by the following equation:

A = π * (r ^ 2)

where r is the radius of the circle, we know that the radius of the circle is half the diameter, therefore:

r = d / 2 = 4/2

r = 2

replacing, we are left with:

A = π * (2 ^ 2)

A = 4π

Which means that the area of the circle is 4π
