Let 1st number be = x
Thus second number = x - 4

Now

(x) + (x - 4) = 72
2x - 4 = 72
2x = 76
x = 38

1st number is 38 thus 2nd number is (38 - 4) = 34

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y=3x-2 that passes trough the point (-9,5)
ElenaW [278]

\huge\boxed{y-5&=-\frac{1}{3}(x+9)}

First, we'll find the slope of the new line. The first line has a slope of 3. Take the negative reciprocal of this (Flip the numerator and denominator, then multiply by -1) to get -\frac{1}{3} for the new slope.

Then, we'll use the point-slope form to make the new equation, where m is the slope and (x_1,y_1) is a point on the line:

\begin{aligned}y-y_1&=m(x-x_1)\\y-5&=-\frac{1}{3}(x-(-9))\\y-5&=-\frac{1}{3}(x+9)\end{aligned}

The circle given by : x^2 + y^2 - 6y - 12 = 0 can be written as:
deff fn [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of circle is,

{x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2}  - 6y - 12 = 0 \\ by \: compairing \: it \: with \:   \\ {x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2}   + 2gx + 2fy = 0 \: we \: get \\2 g = 0 \: or \: g = 0 \\ 2f=  - 6 \\ or \: f=  - 3 \\ c =  - 12

again the another form of circle is,

{x}^{2}  +  {(y - k)}^{2}  = 21 \\ or \:  {x}^{2}  + {y}^{2}  - 2ky +  {k}^{2}  - 21 = 0 \\ by \: compairing \:it \: with \:  \\ {x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2}   + 2gx + 2fy = 0 \: we \: get  \\ g = 0 \\f =  - k \\ c =  {k}^{2}  - 21

now equating the values of f in both equations,

-k=-3

i.e. k=3

therefore k=3

Im trying to figure out how to find the length of an equilateral triangle
gulaghasi [49]

All 3 sides of an equilateral triangle are the same.

Set up an equation with two sides equaling each other and solve for n:

2n +15/4 = 7n

Subtract 2n from both sides:

15/4 = 5n

Divide both sides by 5:

n = (15/4) / 5

n = 3/4

Now you have a value for n, replace n and solve for the length:

7n = 7(3/4) = 21/4 = 5 1/4

Each side is 5 1/4
