Answer:

First number = 25

Second number  = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x & y

The sum of twice the first and thrice the second is 92

2x + 3y = 92   -------------------(I)

Four times the first exceeds seven times the second by 2​

4x - 7y = 2  --------------------(II)

Multiply  equation (I) by -2 and then add the equations

(I)*-2          -4x - 6y = -184

(II)              <u> 4x - 7y = 2  </u>    { Now add, thus x will be eliminated}

                      - 13y = -182 {Divide both sides by -13}

y = -182/-13

y = 14

Plugin the value of y in equation (I)

2x + 3*14 = 92

2x + 42 = 92

       2x = 92 - 42

       2x = 50

        x  = 50/2

x = 25

First number = 25

Second number  = 14

Can someone help me answer this question ( moderators this is not a copy, the other ones got erased so go away)

Triangles ABC and ADE are similar triangles. That means the sides are all scaled by the same factor.

To go from side BC to side DE, you multiply by 1.25. That means 1.25 is your scale factor. Now apply that factor to the bottom side to get your answer.

Side AB is 6. That means side AD is 6 x 1.25 = 7.5. That means x = 7.5 - 6 = 1.5

14/2 three equivalent ratios
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Three equivalent ratios of  \frac{14}{2} are \frac{7}{1}, \frac{21}{3} and \frac{28}{8}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a fraction \frac{14}{2}.

We need to find the three equivalent ratios/fractions of \frac{14}{2}.

The common factor of 14 and 2 is 2.

So, dividing top and bottom by 2, we get

14÷2 = 7 and 2÷2 that is \frac{7}{1}.

Multiplying \frac{7}{1} fraction by a common number 3 in top and bottom, we get

7 × 3 = 21

1 × 3 = 6

So, we get another equivalent fraction \frac{21}{6}.

Multiplying \frac{7}{1} fraction by a common number 3 in top and bottom, we get

7 × 4 = 28

1 × 4 = 4

So, we get another equivalent fraction \frac{28}{4}.

Therefore, three equivalent ratios of  \frac{14}{2} are \frac{7}{1}, \frac{21}{3} and \frac{28}{4}.
