There are two numbers. The first number is 4/9 of the second number. If the difference between the two numbers is 375, find the

value of the second number.

X and y
x=4/9 times y

y is bigger so
y-x=375
x=4/9y
y-4/9y=375
5/9y=375
times both sides by 9/5
y=675

the 2nd number is 675

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe that you only had to do letters F, H, and J. In that case, let's go over each one!

F: For isolating $d_{1}$ , we need to get rid of the 1/2 first. Let's multiply each side by 2:

$2*m = 2*\frac{1}{2}(d_{1}+ d_{2}) \\2m = d_{1}+ d_{2}$

After this, we just subtract $d_{2}$ from each side to get $d_{1}=2m- d_{2}$ . Dark Blue is correct! Let's now plug in those numbers below:

$d_{1}=2(10)- 13 = 20-13=7$

G: Let's isolate the vw^2 on one side by subtracting y from each side:

$vw^{2} +y-y=x-y\\vw^{2}=x-y$

Let's now divide each side by v, then put each side under a square root to get our final answer:

$\frac{vw^2}{v} = \frac{x-y}{v}\\ w^2 = \frac{x-y}{v}\\\sqrt{w^2} = \sqrt{\frac{x-y}{v}} \\w=\sqrt{\frac{x-y}{v}}$

Orange is correct! Again, let's solve the problem underneath:

w= $w=\sqrt{\frac{38-(-7)}{5}} = \sqrt{\frac{38+7}{5}} = \sqrt{\frac{45}{5}}=\sqrt{9}=3$

H: This one has some stuff that we haven't worked with quite yet (like terms), but our approach is the same: isolate c on one side of the equation.

$2a-2a+3c=17a-2a+21\\3c = 15a+21\\\frac{3c}{3} = \frac{15a+21}{3}\\c = \frac{15a}{3}+ \frac{21}{3} \\c = 5a+7$

Purple is correct! Let's solve the problem:

$c = 5(\frac{16}{5})+7 = 16+7 = 23$

Answer: 2a - 7

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Ana: a

Mrs Vargas: 4a - 4

Leo: 2a + 3

Mrs Vargas - Leo

= (4a - 4) - (2a + 3)

= 4a - 4 -2a - 3

= 2a - 7

What is the value of x in the <br> triangle?

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

x = 75°

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of angles in a triangle: 180°

So,

50°+55°+x=180°

105°+ x = 180°

Subtract 105° from both sides

x = 75°
