Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the greater number and y be the smaller number. We know that their difference is 15, so we have

x-y=15

Then, we have the following information: if we add twice the greater (2x) and 8 (2x+8), the result is 3 times the lesser (3y) minus four (3y-4). So, we have

2x+8 = 3y-4 \iff 2x-3y = -12

So, we have the follwing system:

\begin{cases} x-y=15\\2x-3y = -12\end{cases}

From the first equation, we can derive x = y+15, and substitute this expression in the second equation to get

2(y+15)-3y = -12 \iff 2y + 30 -3y = -12 \iff -y = -42 \iff y = 42

Substitute this value for y in the first equation to get

x-42=15 \iff x=15+42 \iff x = 57

Answer:

In terms of pi: 243\pi

in decimal form: 763.407

Step-by-step explanation:

to find surface area of a hemisphere the formula is,

3\pi r^{2}

diameter (d) = 18

radius = d / 2 = 18 / 2

radius = 9

3\pi (9)^{2} \\3\pi (81)\\243\pi \\OR\\763.407
