Multiply (x/6) by 6 to get common denominators and then you can simplify equation to 6x=15, divide each side by 6 answer is x=2.5 or 5/2

One number is 6 more than a second number, the sum of the two numbers is 330. what are the numbers?
maksim [4K]

Let's have the first number, the larger number, be <em>x</em>.  We'll have the second, smaller number be <em>y</em>.

We know that x = y + 6, since x is 6 greater than y.

We also know that 330 = x + y.

Because x = y + 6, 330 = y + 6 + y, which simplifies to 330 = 2y + 6.

Now all we need to do is simplify the equation.  First, we subtract 6 from both sides:

330 - 6 = 324

2y + 6 - 6 = 2y.

So we have 324 = 2y.  Then we divide both sides by 2 to get:

162 = y

Plug in y = 162 into the equation x = y + 6 to get:

x = 162 + 6

x = 168

Let's check to make sure our answer is right.  168 is 6 more than 162.  162 + 168 equals 330.  So our two numbers are 168 and 162.

Need help on number 25 and 26 can you please explain how you got the answer thanks!:)
Westkost [7]
In both problems, the sum of side lengths is the perimeter. Opposite sides of a parallelogram (or rectangle) are equal in length, so you can find the perimeter by doubling the sum of adjacent sides.

25. 2(x +(x +15)) = (x +45) +(x +40) +(x +25)
.. 4x +30 = 3x +110 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
.. x = 80 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3x+30
.. 4x +30 = 4*80 +30 = 240
The perimeter of each is 240 units.

26. 2(x +(x +2)) = (x) +(x +6) +(x +4)
.. 4x +4 = 3x +10 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
.. x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3x+4
.. 4x +4 = 4*6 +4 = 28
The perimeter of each is 28 units.

The area of the right triangle shown is 24 square feet.
Stolb23 [73]

Given : A  = 24 sq feet

A = 0.5 base x height

base = x , height = x+2

A = 0.5 x(x+2)  = 24 sq feet

1) 0.5 x(x+2) = 24 (A)

2) x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 (D)

To check the rest un-wrap the bracket:

x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 24

x^2 + x^2 + 4 + 4x = 24

2x^2 + 4x - 20 = 0

x^2 + 2x - 10= 0 (NO)

Likewise:

x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 100

x^2 + x^2  +4 + 4x = 100

2x^2 + 4x + 4 = 100

2x^2 + 4x - 96 = 0

3) x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 (F)

To sum up: that's what apply:

1) 0.5 x(x+2) = 24 (A)

2) x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 (D)

3) x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 (F)
