Answer:

x= -2/5 and y=13/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets assume that the larger number = x

And the smaller number = y

According to the given statement three times a number added twice a smaller number is 4, it means;

3x+2y=4 -------- equation 1

Now further twice the smaller number less than twice the larger number is 6,it means;

2y-2x=6 --------equation 2

Solve the equation 2.

2y=2x+6

y=2x+6/2

y=2(x+3)/2

y=x+3

Substitute the value of y=x+3 in the first equation.

3x+2y=4

3x+2(x+3)=4

3x+2x+6=4

Combine the like terms:

5x=4-6

5x=-2

x= -2/5

Put the value x= -2/5 in equation 2.

2y-2x=6

2y-2(-2/5)=6

2y+4/5=6

By taking L.C.M we get

10y+4/5=6

10y+4=6*5

10y+4=30

10y=30-4

10y=26

y=26/10

y=13/5

Hence x= -2/5 and y=13/5....

Use the figure to find the measures of the numbered angles. ∠5 = ∠6 =
Gwar [14]

Answer:

∠ 5 = 49°, ∠ 6 = 131°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ 5 and 49° are corresponding angles and are congruent, then

∠ 5 = 49°

∠ 5 and ∠ 6 are adjacent angles and are supplementary, sum to 180° , that is

∠ 6 + ∠ 5 = 180°

∠ 6 + 49° = 180° ( subtract 49° from both sides )

∠ 6 = 131°
