X+y=100

x-y=26

add them equations

x+y=100
<u>x-y=26 +</u>
2x+0y=126

2x=126
divide both sides by 2
x=63

sub back
x+y=100
63+y=100
minus 63 both sides
y=37

the numbers are 63 and 37

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

6\ polyphonic\ ringtones  and 1\ standard\ ringtone

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of polyphonic ringtones

y ----> the number of standard ringtones

we know that

x+y=7

x=7-y -----> equation A

3.25x+1.50y=21 -----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by substitution

Substitute equation A in equation B and solve for y

3.25(7-y)+1.50y=21

22.75-3.25y+1.50y=21

3.25y-1.50y=22.75-21

1.75y=1.75

y=1\ standard\ ringtones

Find the value of x

x=7-1=6\ polyphonic\ ringtones

An isosceles triangle has a vertical angle of 108 and a base 20 cm long. Solve for the base angles in calculated altitude.
xeze [42]

Answer:

The base angles are 36° each

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two of its sides and base angles to be equal.

If an isosceles triangle has a vertical angle of 108°, then the base angles will share the remaining angle in the triangle equally.

Since the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°

The remaining angle in the triangle = 180°-108°

= 72°

Since the base angles are equal, this remaining two angles will share angle 72° equally.

The base angles = 72°/2

The base angles = 36°

This shows that the base angles are 36° each.
