Divide 180 into two parts such that the larger is 16 more than 3 times the smaller. Find the numbers. Please help?

1 answer:

8 0

Larger: x
smaller: 180 - x

x + 16 = 3 (180 - x)
distribute the 3
x + 16 = 540 - 3x
subtract 16 from both sides
x = 524 - 3x
add 3x to both sides
4x = 524
divide both sides by 4
x = 131 (larger)
180 - 131 = 49 (smaller)

Answer:

y = 3 $\sqrt{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The two inner right triangles are similar, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{y}{9}$ = $\frac{7}{y}$ ( cross- multiply )

y² = 63 ( take the square root of both sides )

y = $\sqrt{63}$ = $\sqrt{9(7)}$ = $\sqrt{9}$ × $\sqrt{7}$ = 3 $\sqrt{7}$
