Let one number = X and the second number = Y.

The sum of the numbers is 5 so you get X + Y = 5

One number exceeds the other by 11 ( that means the difference of the numbers is 11, so you would have X  - Y = 11

Your two equations are:

X + Y = 5

X - Y = 11

Add the equations together:

x +x = 2x

y-y = 0

5+11 = 16

Now you have 2x = 16

Divide both sides by 2:

X = 16/2 = 8

Now you have x = 8, replace x with 8 and solve for Y:

8 + y = 5

Subtract 8 from both sides:

y = 5 - 8 = -3

X = 8, Y = -3

Answer and step-by-step explanation:

If we called the first number is x

The second number is y

We are given that:

x + y = 5

x = y + 11

Let put x from (2) into (1), we gotL

x + y = 5

y + 11 + y = 5

2y + 11 = 5

2y = 16

2y = 8

y = 8

Because y = 8 and x + y = 5 so:

x + 8 = 5

x = 5 - 8

x = -3

So x = -3 and y = 8 or x = 8 and y = -3

Hope this helped :3

Ying Zyiyu covers the first 300 miles of a trip traveling at 60 mph. and the last hundred miles traveling at 40 mph. What was hi
UNO [17]

Answer:

53.33 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time. Mathematically,

speed = distance/time

and is measured in miles per hour or meter per second.

To get the average speed over the entire trip, we must get the total time  spent on trip and the total distance, then apply the speed formula

Time for the first 300 miles

= 300/60

= 5 hours

Time spent on the last 100

= 100/40

= 2.5 hours

Total time of the trip = 5 + 2.5

= 7.5 hours

Total distance covered

= 300 miles + 100 miles

= 400 miles

Average speed on the trip

= 400/7.5

= 53.33 miles per hour

Solve the triangle for x.
Damm [24]

Answer:

d) 86.2 degrees

x = 86.20°

Attached is the image used in the question;

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying the law of cosine;

Cos C = (a² + b² - c²)/2ab

Where;

Angle C = x

c = 13 ft

b = 9ft

a = 10ft

Substituting into the equation;

Cos x = (10² + 9² - 13²)/(2×10×9)

Cos x = 0.0667

x = cos⁻¹(0.0667)

x = 86.20°
