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.

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ bh

a. substitute b = 6 and h = 5 into the formula

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 6 × 5 = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 30 = 15 units²

Multiply both sides of the formula by 2

2A = bh, that is

bh = 2A ← divide both sides by b

h = $\frac{2A}{b}$ = $\frac{2(16)}{4}$ = $\frac{32}{4}$ = 8

Using

bh = 2A ← divide both sides by h

b = $\frac{2A}{h}$ = $\frac{2(12)}{4}$ = $\frac{24}{4}$ = 6

Complete the identity

spin [16.1K]

Answer: $cos(\pi-x)=-cos(x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to apply the following identity:

$cos(A - B) = cos A*cos B + sinA*sin B$

Then, applying this, you know that for $cos(\pi-x)$ :

$cos(\pi-x)=cos(\pi)*cos(x)+sin(\pi)*sin(x)$

We need to remember that:

$cos(\pi)=-1$ and $sin(\pi)=0$

Therefore, we need to substitute these values into $cos(\pi-x)=cos(\pi)*cos(x)+sin(\pi)*sin(x)$ .

Then, you get:

$cos(\pi-x)=(-1)*cos(x)+0*sin(x)$

$cos(\pi-x)=-1cos(x)+0$

$cos(\pi-x)=-cos(x)$

David is buying a cheese wheel priced at $650 before tax. The store charges 8% sales tax. what is the total,including tax,david

Troyanec [42]

If the wheel is $650=8% tax, the tax would be $52 we get that by multiplying 650*8% then add 650+52 and we get 702. so together the cheese wheel is $702

It would cost somehow less than $1000 and you would know that because 347 students is a large number, but since it hold 44 students in each bus, it’ll take not to long to get to 347. So since each bus is $95, it would at least reach to 700+

(All is estimated)
