To solve this, set up two equations using the information you're given. Let's call our two numbers a and b:
1) D<span>ifference of two numbers is 90
a - b (difference of two numbers) = 90

2) The quotient of these two numbers is 10
a/b (quotient of the two numbers) = 10


Now you can solve for the two numbers.
1) Solve the second equation for one of the variables. Let's solve for a:
a/b = 10
a = 10b

2) Plug a =10b into the first equation and solve for the value of b:
a - b = 90
10b - b = 90
9b = 90
b = 10

3) Using b = 10, plug it back into one of the equations to find the value of a. I'll plug it back into the first equation:
a - b = 90
a - 10 = 90
a = 100

The perimeter of this isosceles triangle is 22 cm. If one side is 6 cm, what are the possible lengths of the other two sides? Pa
3241004551 [841]
We know that

<span>the isosceles triangle has two equal sides
</span>
<span>let's analyze two cases
</span>
first case
perimeter=22 cm
<span>let's suppose that the known side of 6 cm is one of the two equal sides
</span>perimeter=6+6+x
22=6+6+x-----> x=22-12----> x=10 cm

answer first case
<span>the possible lengths of the other two sides are
</span>6 cm 
10 cm

second case
let's suppose that the known side of 6 cm is the side that is not equal
perimeter=22 cm
perimeter=6+x+x
22=6+x+x----> 2x=22-6----> 2x=16-----> x=8 cm


answer second case
the possible lengths of the other two sides are
8 cm 
8 cm

0.15% of what number is 10.5?
mario62 [17]

Answer:

67667.7

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number= Y

the question simply means that 0.15 percent of Y which give 10.5

so, let find Y:

0.15% of Y 10.15

<h3>Stating the mathematical equation</h3>

0.15/100×y = 10.15

0.0015y= 10.15

divide bothsides by 0.0015

0.0015y/0.0015= 10.15/0.0015

y=6766.66

y= 6766.7 approximately

<h3>therefore, 0.15% of 6766.7 is 10.5</h3>
