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....

5. Patricia is on the edge of the top of a mountain and notices that a kayak on the lake is 30 meters
zhuklara [117]

The distance from the kayak to the mountain to the nearest whole number is 43 meters.

The situation will form a right angle triangle as shown below in the diagram.

<h3>Properties of a right angle triangle:</h3>
  • One of its angle is 90 degrees.
  • The sides and angle can be found by using trigonometric ratios.

The height(opposite side) of the triangle is the kayak distance from the mountain to the lake below. The distance from the kayak to the mountain is the adjacent side of the triangle.

Therefore, using trigonometric ratios,

tan 35 = opposite / adjacent

tan 35° = 30 / a

a = 30 / tan 35°

a = 30 / 0.70020753821

a = 42.8444402023

a = 42.84 meters

a ≈ 43 meters
