Let two number A and B, and A >B

as we know A+10=2B① && A+B =38②

①-② solve that
B=16 so A=22

so, they are 16 and 22

Find the length of UW(with a line over it) if W is between U and V, UV = 16.8 centimeters, and VW = 7.9 centimeters.

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

8.9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We have
$\overline {UV} = 16.8 cm\\\\\overline {WV} = 7.9 cm\\\\ Since all lines are scalars, \overline{WV} = \overline{VW}\\\textrm{We see that \overline{UW} + \overline{WV} = \overline{UV}\\\\\overline {UW} \\ = \overline {UV} - \overline {WV} = 16.9 - 7.9 = 8.9 cm}$

2 less then 3 times a number is 9

Masteriza [31]

$\huge\boxed{\text{As an expression:}\ 3x-2=9}$

$\huge\boxed{\text{Solved for x:}\ x=\frac{11}{3}}$

Let's start with " $3$ times a number". We will use $x$ to represent the number. $3x$

" $2$ less than" is next. $-2$

Finally, "is $9$ ". $=9$

Put it all together to get an expression. $\boxed{3x-2=9}$

Now, let's solve for the unknown number.

Add $2$ on both sides of the equation. $3x=11$

Divide both sides of the equation by $3$ to isolate $x$ . $x=\boxed{\frac{11}{3}}$
