The larger of two numbers is 23. If three times the larger is 5 more than eight times the smaller, find the smaller number.

1 answer:

6 0

X and y are the numbers
x is greater than y

x=23

if 3 times x is 5 more than 8 times y, find y

3(x)=5+8(y)
3(23)=5+8y
69=5+8y
minus 5
64=8y
divide by 8
8=y
the smaller number is 8

Un rollo de cable mide más de 150 metros y menos de 200 metros. ¿Cuál es su longitud exacta, sabiendo que se puede dividir en tr

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

<h2>The cable measures 180 meters.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to find the Least Common Factor between 15 and 9.

15 9 | 3

5 3 | 3

5 1 | 5

So, the Least Common Factor would be 3x3x5 = 45. But, we need a multiple of this number which must be between 150 and 200. So,

45 x 4 = 180.

Therefore, the cable measures 180 meters.

knowing the points a(1, 6), b(−5, −2), c(−1, −5), and d(5, 3), and that segment ab is parallel to segment cd, what is the length

denpristay [2]

Length of a line given two points is given by:
$l= 
\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} \\ AB= \sqrt{(-5-1)^2+(-2-6)^2} \\ = 
\sqrt{(-6)^2+(-8)^2} \\ = \sqrt{36+64} \\ = \sqrt{100} \\ =10 \\ \\ 
CD= \sqrt{(3-(-5))^2+(5-(-1))^2} \\ = \sqrt{(3+5)^2+(5+1)^2} \\ = 
\sqrt{8^2+6^2} \\ = \sqrt{64+36} \\ = \sqrt{100} \\ =10$
Since |AB| = |CD|, points A, B, C, D form a parallelogram.
