Answer:
The larger of the two is 44.67
Step-by-step explanation:
let the first number=x
let the second number=y
We can derive a system of equations using the mathematical statements
Their sum is 33:
x+y=33( call this equation 1)
Sum of first number and four times the second is -2:
x+4y=-2(call this equation 2)
Since the integer coefficients of x in both equations are the same we can quickly subtract one from the other to eliminate it
For this explanation, I choose to subtract equation 1 from 2
(x+4y=-2)-(x+y=33)=3y=-35
y=-35/3
Now plug in the value of y into any equation for that of x. Say we plug into equation 1
x+(-35/3)=33
x-35/3=33( multiply through by 3)
3x-35=99
3x=99+35
3x=134
x=134/3
Therefore,x=134/3 or 44.67 and y=-35/3 or -11.67
Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean formula
a²+b²=c²
in other words, sidea²+sideb²=hypotenuse
8²+15²=c²
64+225=c²
289=c²
√289=√c²
17=c
There is 1/2 2/4 3/6 4/8 5/10 6/12 7/14 8/16 9/18 10/20 and so on
