The number p is 20 more than the number q . using algebra write the relationship between p and q .

1 answer:

3 0

From what we know, p is 20 more than q. So, we can assume p = 20 + q. Q can also be found by subtracting 20 from both sides. So, q = p - 20.

Hope this helped!

Let the number be (10 x + y)

Then, 10 x + y = 3 * (x + y) (given)

Or, 10 x + y = 3 x + 3 y

Or, 10 x - 3 x = 3 y - y

Or, 7x = 2 y

Or, x = 2 y / 7 ( Eq. 1)

Also, 10 x + y + 45 = 10 y + x ( given)

Or, 10 x - x = 10 y - y - 45

Or, 9 x = 9 y - 45 ( Eq. 2)

Substituting the value of x from (Eq. 1) in (Eq. 2), we have:

9 * 2 y / 7 = 9 y - 45

Or, (9 y ) - (18 y / 7) = 45

Or, 63 y - 18 y = 315

Or, 45 y = 315

Or, y = 7

From (Eq. 1),

x = 2 * 7 / 7 = 2

So, the number is 10 x + y = (10 * 2) + 7 = (20 + 7) = 27

Answer

Check:

Sum of the digits = 2 + 7 = 9

9 * 3 = 27 ✓

Adding 45 to the number 27, we get 72. So, the digits get reversed.

Use the formula to find the length of the base next to the goal given that the height of the trapezoid is 11ft and the base fart

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

b1 = 22 ft

the length of the base next to the goal is 22 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given formula;

Area A = 1/2×(b1 + b2)h ........1

Given;

Area A = 275ft^2

base b2 = 28 ft

base b1 = ?

height h = 11 ft

From equation 1;

Making b1 rhe subject of formula;

A = 1/2×(b1 + b2)h

Multiply through by 2;

2A = (b1+b2)h

b1+b2 = 2A/h

b1 = 2A/h - b2 ...... 2

Substituting the given values into equation 2;

b1 = 2(275)/11 - 28

b1 = 50 - 28

b1 = 22 ft

the length of the base next to the goal is 22 ft
