Hello there.

One number is 4 less than a second number. twice the second number is 16 less than 5 times the first. find the two numbers

Answer: Call the first number x.
First number is x.
Second number is x + 4.
This is the equation presented.
2(x + 4) = 5x - 16.
2x + 8 = 5x - 16.
16 + 8 = 5x - 2x
24 = 3x
x = 8.
x + 4 = 12.
The two numbers are 8 and 12.

(30/ If the surface of a lake represents a plane, what geometric

beks73 [17]

Answer:

A point

Explanation:

The surface of a lake represents a plane because it extends in all directions at the same level. Imagine it as a quite surface, without imperfections, smooth and perfectly plane, it is a two-dimensional figure.

A fishing line that enters into the water, crossing the lake's surface, representes a line, which may be either perpendicular or leaned.

Thus the intersection of those two figures is a point.

A surface and a line that is not included in the plane and is not parallel to it will meet at a single point, which is what is represented by the situation stated.

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The fraction of the total distance to her uncle's house that was traveled on Sunday is 1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total distance from Madison house to her uncle is 1 unit

She travels 5/7th of the total distance on Saturday

Remaining distance = $1-\frac{5}{7} = \frac{2}{7}$

She travels 1/2 of the remaining distance on Sunday.

Hence, the fraction of the total distance to her uncle's house that was traveled on Sunday is 1/2 * 2/7 = 1/7
