The sum of two numbers is seventeen. Three less than three times the smaller is equal to the larger

1 answer:

8 0

The numbers are 5 and 12.
Smaller number = x
Larger number = y
x +y =17
y = 3x - 3
x +3x -3 = 17
4x = 20
x = 5
smaller number is 5
y = 3(5) - 3
y = 12
larger number is 12.

Twin brothers, Billy and Bobby, can mow their grandparent's lawn together in 53 minutes. Billy could mow the lawn by himself

podryga [215]

5353 minutes = 89.22 hours
Maybe the figures should be 53 and 20??

Let's let Billy = A
The formula to use for work problems is
Time = (A*B) / (A+B)

53 = ( (A +20)* A) / (A +20 + A) )
53 = ( A^2 + 20A ) / (2A + 20)
A^2 + 20A -106A -1060
A^2 -86A -1060
A = 96.935

Answer:

BC = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Of course, this geometry program can tell you the length of BC.

If you follow directions, you get a right triangle BCF that has leg lengths 3 and 4. The Pythagorean theorem then tells you the length of hypotenuse BC is ...

BF = 4 -1 = 3

FC = 4 -0 = 4

BC² = BF² +FC²

BC² = 3² +4² = 9 +16 = 25

BC = √25

BC = 5
