Answer:

84 and 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of two numbers is 7:3.

We don't know what the numbers are, but since their ratio is 7:3, we can let the numbers be 7x and 3x. Notice that the ratio between 7x and 3x is 7x/3x = 7/3, so we still have the same ratio, 7:3.

The difference between the numbers is 48.

7x - 3x = 48

4x = 48

x = 12

7x = 7(12) = 84

3x = 3(12) = 36

The numbers are 84 and 36.

Check:

7/3 = 2.333...

84/36 = 2.333...

84 and 36 are int he same 7:3 ratio as 7:3.

84 - 36 = 48

The difference between 84 and 36 is 48 like the problem states.

This shows our answer, 84 and 36, is correct.

Hi, hope you’re having a good day today!!!

Answer:

84:36

(The explanation is really really long, so you may want to skip it, unless this is a test or you want a better understanding then, yeah)

So first, you have 7:3

Then, you have to multiply both by the same number to get an equal ratio to 7:3,

Let’s try 7*10=<em><u>70</u></em> and 3*10=<em><u>30</u></em> <em>70</em>-<em>30</em>=40, so you know that the answer is close,

Then, let’s try 7*11=77 and 3*11=33, subtract and you get 44. Nope, not the answer

So, finally let’s try 7*12=84 and 3*12=36, and 84-36=48!!!!

So, the answer is explained! Wait, but you still have to put them like ratios (if this chapter is ratios and proportions)

84:36 or 84 to 36, either way.

<h2>Have a great day!! ❤️❤️</h2>

I need help with this math problem!!
Vesnalui [34]
In order to find which one is or isn't, you need to solve for the value of 'x'. 
2x + 15 = 35 
2x = 20
x = 10 

Substitute x =10, into equation. If each side are not the same (i.e. 0=2), then that's the equation that is not equivalent,

Answer is B
Double check this. Chur! :)

Hope this makes sense.

Oliga [24]

Answer:

27.5cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

you can cut the triangle to make two right triangles

so 11 is the height and the width is 2.5 since your cutting the triangle in half

so 11x2.5=27.5 since its a right triangle you have to divide by two 27.5/2=13.75

that's the answer for one of the triangles now multiply it by two since you need the two right triangle to make the other triangle so the answer is 27.5

Use the given x-values to identify solutions as ordered pairs to the equation y = −7x + 4 for x = 1, 3, 5, and 7
kolezko [41]
For x=1: -7 x 1 + 4 = -3     y=-3
The ordered pair:(1, -3)
for x=3: -7 x 3 + 4 = -17    y=-17
The ordered pair:(3, -17)
for x=5: -7 x 5 + 4 = -35    y=-35
The ordered pair:(5, -35)
for x=7: -7 x 7 + 4 = -45    y =-45
The ordered pair:(7, -45)
