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

Answer:

m<R = 106°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

m<R = (6x+10)°

m<S = (2x+5)°

m<T = (3x-11)°

Now,

6x+10°+2x+5°+3x-11° = 180°{the sum of angles of triangle is 180°}

or, 11x+4° = 180°

or, 11x = 180°-4

or, x = 176°/11

or, x = 16°

therefore, x = 16°

m<R = (6x+10)°

= 6×16°+10°

= 96°+10°

= 106°

Answer:

a. fly = 5.7

b. fly = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

hoist/fly = 1 / 1.9

The new hoist is 3. To get this you have to multiply 1 by 3. That means you have to multiply 1.9 by 3 too.

1.9 * 3 = 5.7

b.

hoist/fly = 3/5 (this is the new ratio)

4.5 / 3 = 1.5

5 * 1.5 = 7.5
