One number is 2 less than a second number. Twice the second number is 17 less than 5 times the first

X=y-2
2y=5x-17
Substituting for x into the second equation, we find
2y=5(y-2)-17
2y=5y-10-17
-3y=-27
y=9
So x=7
Thus, the two numbers are 7 and 9.

Answer:

$\dfrac{149}{40}$

$\dfrac{38}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(\dfrac{7}{8} + \dfrac{4}{5}) - (\dfrac{9}{20} + \dfrac{-5}{2}) =$

$= (\dfrac{7}{8} \times \dfrac{5}{5} + \dfrac{4}{5} \times \dfrac{8}{8}) - (\dfrac{9}{20} + \dfrac{-5}{2} \times \dfrac{10}{10})$

$= (\dfrac{35}{40} + \dfrac{32}{40}) - (\dfrac{9}{20} + \dfrac{-50}{20})$

$= \dfrac{67}{40} - (-\dfrac{41}{20})$

$= \dfrac{67}{40} + \dfrac{41}{20} \times \dfrac{2}{2}$

$= \dfrac{67}{40} + \dfrac{82}{40}$

$= \dfrac{149}{40}$

$(-\dfrac{6}{4} + \dfrac{3}{2}) + (\dfrac{6}{5} + \dfrac{4}{3}) =$

$= (-\dfrac{3}{2} + \dfrac{3}{2})+ (\dfrac{6}{5} \times \dfrac{3}{3} + \dfrac{4}{3} \times \dfrac{5}{5})$

$= 0 + \dfrac{18}{15} + \dfrac{20}{15}$

$= \dfrac{38}{15}$

In a circle with a radius of 6 ft, an arc is intercepted by a central angle of 270 degrees.

aliya0001 [1]

Answer: 28.26 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the length of arc $l$ is:

$l=r \theta$

Where:

$r=6 ft$ is the radius of the circle

$\theta=270\° \frac{\pi}{180\°}=\frac{3}{2} \pi=4.71 rad$ is the angle in radians

$l=(6 ft)(4.71 rad)$

$l=28.26 ft$ This is the length of the arc
