Hey there!!

Let's take the two numbers as 'x' and 'y'

The sum of these two numbers is 36.

... x + y = 36

Twice the first number minus the second is 6.

... 2x - y = 6

Now, we have two equations.

_______________________________________________________

... x + y = 36  

... 2x - y = 6

Now, let's add both the equations.

... 3x = 42

Divide each side by 3.

... x = 42 / 3

... x = 14

<em>Hence, the first number is'14'. </em>

We know the sum of both the numbers is 36.

... x + y = 36

... 14 + y = 36

Subtract 14 on both sides.

... y = 36-14

... y = 22

<em>Hence, the second number is 22. </em>

<em>The numbers are 14 and 22. </em>

Hope my answer helps!!

A segment has an endpoint at (1,−2). The midpoint is at (−4,−2). What are the coordinates of the other endpoint?

Answer:

The other midpoint is located at coordinates (-9,-2) (Second option)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Midpoints</u>

If P(a,b) and Q(c,d) are points in \mathbb{R} ^2, the midpoint between them is the point exactly in the center of the line that joins P and Q. Its coordinates are given by

\displaystyle x_m=\frac{a+c}{2}

\displaystyle y_m=\frac{b+d}{2}

We are given one endpoint at P(1,-2) and the midpoint at M(-4,-2). The other endpoint must be at an equal distance from the midpoint as it is from P. We can see both given points have the same value of y=-2. This simplifies the calculations because we only need to deal with the x-coordinate.

The x-distance from P to M is 1-(-4)=5 units. This means the other endpoint must be 5 units to the left of M:

x (other endpoint)= - 4 - 5 = - 9

So the other midpoint is located at (-9,-2) (Second option)

7, 14 would be it but you have to divide the whole equation by 2 to get the y alone

The list that orders the fractions from least to greatest is:

  • \frac{7}{12}, \frac{2}{3}, \frac{17}{24}, \frac{3}{4}

<h3>Ordering of fractions</h3>
  • To order the fractions from least to greatest, we have to realize their conversion to decimal.
  • To realize the conversion, the numerator is divided by the denominator, as ordering decimal numbers are easier than fractions.

Hence, the fractions converted to decimal are:

  • \frac{2}{3} = 0.6667.
  • \frac{7}{12} = 0.5833.
  • \frac{17}{24} = 0.7083
  • \frac{3}{4} = 0.75

Hence, the list from least to greatest is, according to the results of the conversions:

  • \frac{7}{12}, \frac{2}{3}, \frac{17}{24}, \frac{3}{4}
