Answer: The numbers are: <u>x = 34, y = 12</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say the numbers are x and y. The two equations are:

x+y=46

x= 3y-2

Next you use substitution for x in the first equation which brings you to

3y-2 + y = 46 which simplyfies to:

4y - 2 = 46

4y = 48

48 / 4 = 12

y = 12

Then you plug back y=12 in either of the equation to solve for x:

x = 3y - 2

x = 3(12) - 2   = 36 - 2 = 34

x = 34, y = 12

Ana tried to prove that an exterior triangle angle measure equals the sum of the measures of the two
maxonik [38]

The first mistake of Ana is sum of interior is 180° that is given by the definition. Then the correct option is A.

The statements, reasons, and options are attached below.

<h3>What is the triangle?</h3>

A triangle is a three-sided polygon with three angles. The angles of the triangle add up to 180 degrees.

Linear angle – If the total of two angles is 180 degrees, they are said to be linear angles.

Ana tried to prove that an exterior triangle angle measure equals the sum of the measures of the two interior angles not adjacent to it.

∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 = 180° (By definition of triangle)

∠3 + ∠4 = 180° (By definition of linear angle)

∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 = ∠3 + ∠4 (Substitution)

∠1 + ∠2 = ∠4 (Subtraction on both side by ∠3)

The first mistake of Ana is sum of interior is 180° that is given by the definition.

Then the correct option is A.

More about the triangle link is given below.

Talia is writing a coordinate proof to show that the diagonals of a square are perpendicular. Which sentence describes what Tali
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals. That means that their product is -1.

In option D, since the slopes are 1 and -1, their product is -1, and the lines are perpendicular.

Answer: D.
