X is the smaller number. 3x + 15 is the larger number. So x + 3x + 15 = 63. 4x + 15 = 63.
4x = 48. x = 12. (Smaller number) The larger 36 + 15 or 51.

To solve this we will write an equation to describe the situation.
(For some fun let us use (Apple) to represent the smaller number, and (Pineapple) for the big number)

Basically what the question is telling us is:
 (apple) + (pineapple)  = 63

Now we need to know what and (apple) and (pineapple)   are.
(pineapple) = 15 more than 3x the smaller number = 3(apple)   +  15
(apple): nothing special to do to it so it is just (apple)

Now we can replace (pineapple)  with what we calculated above. (pineapple) = 3(apple)  +  15

This means (apple)  + (3(apple)  + 15) = 63

  (apple) + 3(apples)  is simply 4(apples) 

So, the equation is now 4(apples)
  + 15 = 63

Now lets solve for (apple)  .
4(apple)  + 15 = 63
4(apple)  = 63 - 15
4(apple) = 48
(apple)= 48 ÷ 4

(apple) = 12
Voila! Now we know what (apple) is, but we still need to find (pineapple)  .

Remember how  (pineapple)  = 3(apple)   +  15 ?
We know (apple)  = 12 so plug in 12 for (apple)  to find out what (pineapple)   is.

  (pineapple) = 3(12) + 15
  (pineapple) = 36 + 15
  (pineapple) = 51

Now just to check: (apple)   +  (pineapple) should equal 63
Does 12 + 51 = 63? YES! so this answer is correct.

The two numbers you are looking for are:
apple = smaller number = 12
pineapple = bigger number = 51

For this case we have that by definition, the volume of a rectangular prism is given by:

V = A_ {b} * h

Where:

A_ {b}:It is the area of the base of the prism

h: It is the height

A_ {b} = w * l

Where:

w: is the width

l: is the length

According to the data of the statement we have:

w = 16 \ in\\l = 4h\\V = 4,096 \ in ^ 3

Substituting the data we have:

A_ {b} = 16 * 4h = 64h\\64h * h = 4,096\\64h ^ 2 = 4,096\\h ^ 2 = \frac {4096} {64}\\h ^ 2 = 64\\h = \pm \sqrt {64}\\

We choose the positive value: h = 8

So the height is8 \ in

Answer:

8 \ in

Hi i am having trouble with this question can some one help me on it i heard this app really helps you understand question i mig
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

n = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Guess your question is to find n

Given:

-6 + 3n = -9

-6 + 3n = -9

Add 6 to both sides

-6 + 6 + 3n = -9 + 6

3n = -3

Divide both sides by 3

n = -3 / 3

= -1

n = -1

Check:

-6 + 3n = -9

-6 + 3(-1) = -9

-6 - 3 = -9

- 9 = - 9

After 5.75 hours, Kyler had finished painting 62.5% of his house. He needs to paint a total of 4,000 square feet on his house. A
MissTica
First, we are going to find the painted area of his house. We know that the total area he needs to paint is 4000 square meters, so 4000 is the area of this house. Now, to find the 62.5% of that area, we are going to multiply it by \frac{62.5}{100}:
Painted area= (4000)(\frac{62.5}{100})=2500

Now, to find <span>rate, in square feet per hour, we are going to divide the painted area by the number of hours: 
Rate=</span>\frac{2500}{5.75} =434.78

We can conclude that Kyler paints at a rate of 434.78 square feet per hour.
