Let x=the larger number
y=the smaller number 
If the difference of two numbers is 19,then
x - y = 19
If the larger number is 3 more than twice the smaller, 
x = 2y + 3
subsituting
x = 2y + 3 \: to \: x - y = 19
2y + 3 - y = 19 \\ 2y - y + 3 = 19 \\ y + 3 = 19 \\ y + 3 - 3 = 19 - 3 \\ y + 0 = 16
y = 16
but ×=2y+3 so,
x = 2 (16) + 3 \\ x = 32 + 3 \\ x = 35
Therefore, the two numbers are 16 and 35.

The perimeter of a rectangular piece of plastic is 30 millimeters. The area is 54 square millimeters. What are the dimensions of
Delvig [45]

Answer:

6 mm and 9 mm are the dimensions of the piece of plastic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Keep in mind the formulas for the area and perimeter of a rectangle:

A = lw

P = 2 (l + w)

List the factors of 54:

1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54

POSSIBLE DIMENSIONS of the piece of plastic:

1 mm and 54 mm:

Area - 54 mm^2

Perimeter - 110 mm

2 mm and 27 mm

Area - 54 mm^2

Perimeter - 58 mm

3 mm and 18 mm

Area - 54 mm^2

Perimeter - 42 mm

6 mm and 9 mm

Area - 54 mm^2

Perimeter - 30 mm

The rectangular piece of plastic with the dimensions 6mm and 9 mm corresponds with the area and perimeter of the piece of plastic mentioned. So these are the correct dimensions.

Hope this helps!

Marty ate 1/4 of his pizza and Luis ate 1/3 of his pizza. Marty ate more pizza than Luis. Is that possible?
Nataly_w [17]
Of course.

You can only say for sure that 1/4 of a whole thing is less than 1/3 of a whole thing
if the whole things are equal size.

If Marty's pizza was 1/3 bigger than Luis' pizza, then they both ate the same amount.
If Marty's was MORE than 1/3 bigger than Luis', then Marty ate more pizza.

Round to the nearest tenth wa hit is the perimeter of the triangle
klio [65]

Answer:

D. 11.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

This triangle is a 30°-60°-90° triangle. There is a shortcut to find the lengths of the sides of a 30°-60°-90° triangle. The longest side is the hypotenuse. The longest side is double the shortest side or, the shortest side is half the longest side. Here the longest side is 5, so the short leg (shortest side) is 2.5

The other shortcut is that the longer leg is the

short leg×sqroot3

Here, the short leg is 2.5, so the long leg is 2.5×sqroot3

Perimeter is all the sides added together.

5 + 2.5+ 2.5×sqrt3

Do the times first.

5 + 2.5 + 4.3

= 11.8
