Answer: 5 and 7

Step-by-step explanation: The first sentence "one number is 5 less than another" tells us how we are going to set up our variables.

If we represent one of our two numbers as (X) the other number will then be (X - 5). Let's call (X) the larger number and (X - 5) the smaller number.

Now we can use our second sentence "Their sum is 19" to set up our equation.

X + (X - 5) = 19

2x - 5 = 19

+5 +5

2x = 24

÷2 ÷2

X = 12

Now if (X) the larger number is equal to 12 then (X - 5) the smaller number is (12 - 5) or 7.

Therefore, our two numbers are 5 and 7.

If you add the digits in a two-digit number and multiply the sum by 7, you get the original number. If you reverse the digits in

kolbaska11 [484]

The answer is A. 42

Solution:
Let x= ones digit, y=tens digit

1st condition (original number) : 7(x+y)=10y + x
2nd condition (new number by reversing the digits): 18+x+y=10x+y

simplifying:
1st condition: 6x=3y
2nd condition: x=2
substituting x=2 to 6x=3y

zvonat [6]

Answer:

4 hours of rental

Step-by-step explanation:

y1 = 20 + 13.5x

y2 = 6 + 17x

20 + 13.5x = 6 + 17x

20 - 6 = 17x - 13.5x

14 = 3.5x

x = 4

Costs y1 and y2 are equal on renting for 4 hours

F(v)=6+v^2 how do I solve

Nostrana [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, this is a function. In order to solve this, you need a v value. Once you get a v value, you can plug into into 6+v^2 and wala- you get your answer.

Example, lets say

v is 3

then

F(3) = 6 + 3^2

f(3) = 6 + 9

f(3) =15

Hope this helped

A survey team is trying to estimate the height of a mountain above a level plain. From one point on the plain, they observe that

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

5507.79 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the height of the mountain, we can draw triangles as in the image attached.

Let's call the height of the mountain 'h', and the distance from the first point (31 degrees) to the mountain 'x'.

Then, we can use the tangent relation of the angles:

tan(34) = h/x

tan(31) = h/(x+1000)

tan(31) is equal to 0.6009, and tan(34) is equal to 0.6745, so:

h/x = 0.6745 -> x = h/0.6745

using this value of x in the second equation:

h/(x+1000) = 0.6009

h/(h/0.6745 + 1000) = 0.6009

h = 0.6009 * (h/0.6745 + 1000)

h = 0.8909*h + 600.9

0.1091h = 600.9

h = 600.9 / 0.1091 = 5507.79 feet
