The sum of two numbers is 28. one number is 14 more. find the numbers

1 answer:

5 0

The numbers are: "7 " and "21 " .
_______________________________________
Explanation:
_______________________________________
The numbers are: "x" and "x + 14" .

x + (x + 14) = 28 . Solve for "x" ; and then solve for "x + 14" .
_______________________________________
→ x + (x + 14) = 28 ;

Rewrite as:

→ x + x + 14 = 28 ;

→ 1x + 1x + 14 = 28 ;

→ 2x + 14 = 28 ;

Subtract "14" from each side of the equation;

→ 2x + 14 − 14 = 28 <span>− 14 ;

</span> → 2x = 14 ;

Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "2" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;

→ 2x / 2 = 14 / 2 ;

→ x = 7 .
_________________________________________
So; one of the numbers is: " 7 " .

The other number is: " x + 14 " ; which equals: " 7 + 14 = 21".

The other number is: "21 " .
_________________________________________
The numbers are: "7 " and "21 " .

Answer:

x = 7.2m

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it is a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem:

4^2+6^2 = x^2

16+36 = x^2

52 = x^2

sqrt52 = x

7.2 = x

HELP WANTED, APPRECIATED, AND NEEDED ASAP

Anit [1.1K]

Let's assume

x is number of hours worked

y is amount paid

Since, this is linear relationship

We can select any two points

(2,36.50) and (4,73)

so, we can also write as

x1=2 , y1 =36.50

x2=4 , y2=73

Firstly, we can find slope

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

we can plug values

$m=\frac{73-36.50}{4-2}$

$m=18.25$

now, we can use point slope form of line

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

we can plug values

$y-36.50=18.25(x-2)$

now, we can solve for y

$y=18.25x$

$y=18.3x$ ..............Answer

Juan cuts a piece of rope that is 16 meter long into 2 equal pieces. What is the length of each shorter piece of rope? Enter you

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

$\text{Length of each shorter piece of rope}=8\text{ meter}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Juan cuts a piece of rope that is 16 meter long into 2 equal pieces. We are asked to find the length of each shorter piece of rope.

To find length of each shorter piece of rope, we will divide total length of rope by 2 because Juan cuts the rope into two equal pieces.

$\text{Length of each shorter piece of rope}=\frac{16\text{ meter}}{2}$

$\text{Length of each shorter piece of rope}=8\text{ meter}$

Therefore, the length of each shorter piece of rope would be 8 inches.
