Answer:
small number = -3
large number = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose two numbers are x and y
smaller number = x
larger number = y
Given that,
The difference of two numbers is 15
<h2>Equation 1</h2><h3>y - x = 15</h3>
Five times the smaller is the same as 9 less than twice the larger.
<h2>Equation 2</h2><h3>5x = 9 - 2y</h3>
Solve them
-x = 15 - y
x = y -15
put value of x in equation 2
5(y - 15) = 9 - 2y
-75 + 5y = 9 - 2y
-75 - 9 = -2y - 5y
-84 = -7y
y = 84/7
y = 12
x = 12 - 15
x = -3
Multiply by 9/4 to get y=6.
Answer:
2 1/3 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the area of the rectangle
A = l *w
4 * 1 1/6
4 * 7/6
28/6
Divide this in half since the rectangle is cut in half by using the diagonal
28/6 *1/2
28/12
7/3
Changing to a mixed number
2 1/3
