Two positive numbers have a difference of 5. the larger number is one more than twice the smaller. find the two numbers.

1 answer:

5 0

Let the numbers be x and y with x being the larger number.

Given,

x - y = 5

x = 5 + y

Also given,

x = 1 + 2y

5 + y = 1 + 2y

y = 4

x = 5 + y = 9

Hence, the two numbers are 9 and 4.

Determine if the ordered pair (6, 4) is a solution to the inequality

Ugo [173]

Answer:

$\Large \boxed{\mathrm{Option \ D}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

(6, 4)

x = 6 and y = 4

y > -1/2x + 7

Plug in the values to check if it is true.

4 > -1/2(6) + 7

4 > -3 + 7

4 > 4

This statement is false.

(6, 4) lies on the line.

Triangle abc is an isosceles right triangle. What is the measure of one base angle? 30ş 45ş 60ş 90ş.

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

45°

Step-by-step explanation:

The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary. The base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent. If x is the measure of the base angles, this requires ...

x = 90-x . . . . . the base angle is congruent to the other base angle

2x = 90 . . . . . add x

x = 90/2 = 45 . . . . divide by 2

The measure of a base angle of an isosceles right triangle is 45°.

It can be useful to remember this fact.
