Answer:

7 & 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x

2nd number = 8 less than 3 times the other

2nd number = 3x - 8

Their sum = 20

X + 3x - 8 = 20

4x -8 = 20

Collect like terms

4x = 20+8

4x = 28

Divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 28/4

X = 7

First number = 7

2nd number = 3x - 8

= 3(7) - 8

= 21 -8

= 13.

Therefore the numbers are 7 and 13

An athletic facility is building an indoor track. The track is composed of a rectangle and two semicircles.
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

(The image is not provided, so i draw an idea of how i supposed that the problem is, the image is at the bottom)

Ok, we have a rectangle of length x by r.

At the extremes of length r, we add two semicircles.

So the perimeter will be equal to:

Two times x, plus the perimeter of the two semicircles (that can be thought as only one circle).

The radius of the semicircles is r, and the perimeter of a circle is:

C = 2*pi*r

where pi = 3.14

Then the perimeter of the track is:

P = 2*x + 2*pi*r.

b) now we want to solve this for x, this means isolating x in one side of the equation.

P - 2*pi*r = 2*x

P/2 - pi*r = x.

c) now we have:

P = 660ft

r = 50ft

then we can replace the values and find x.

x = 660ft/2 - 3.14*50ft = 173ft

IrinaK [193]

Dale drove to the mountains last weekend. there was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 7 hours. when dale drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 5 hours. if his average rate was 18 miles per hour faster on the trip home, how far away does dale live from the mountains? do not do any rounding.

Answer:

Dale live 315 miles from the mountains

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y be the speed  of Dale to the mountains

Time taken by Dale to the mountains=7 hrs

Therefore distance covered by dale to the mountain = speed × time = 7y ......eqn 1

Time taken by Dale back home = 5hours

Since it speed increased by 18 miles per hour back home it speed = y+18

So distance traveled home =speed × time = (y+18)5 ...... eqn 2

Since distance cover is same in both the eqn 1 and eqn 2.

Eqn 1 = eqn 2

7y = (y+18)5

7y = 5y + 90

7y - 5y = 90 (collection like terms)

2y = 90

Y = 45

Substitute for y in eqn 1 to get distance away from mountain

= 7y eqn 1

= 7×45

= 315 miles.

∴ Dale leave 315 miles from the mountains
