The sum of two numbers is 54 . the smaller number is 12 less than the larger number. what are the numbers?

1 answer:

5 0

Let x=one number and x+12= the other number. Together the numbers=54. Set up the equation: x+x+12=54; Combine the variables; 2x+12=54; Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation; 2x=42; Divide both sides of the equation by 2; x=21 is one number and 21+12=33 is the other number. Check: 2(21) +12=54; 42+12=54; 54=54.

Question 2 Not yet answered Points out of 2

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Trapezoid

Step-by-step explanation:

perpendicular: They are perpendicular due to the fact they cross at right angles to each other. Another true instance of perpendicular lines we will see in nature is a football field. All four corners of a football field are perpendicular to every other.

In the trapezoid attached there aren't any perpendicular sides. A and B are both obtuse angles in this diagram, and C and D are both acute angles. However, now not all trapezoids appear like this. ... Definition B: A trapezoid is any quadrilateral with at the least one pair of parallel sides.
