Answer:

y=14

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 84

-1(x - 4y = 14)

-x + 4y = -14

x + y = 84

-x + 4y = -14

5y = 70

divide by 5

y = 14

Answer: 70 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the bigger number be x and the smaller number be y , then from the first statement

x + y = 84

From the second statement :

four times the smaller number means 4 x y , which will be 4y , so

four times the smaller number is subtracted from the larger number the result is 14 means :

x - 4y = 14

combining the two equations we have :

x + y = 84 ........................... equation 1

x - 4y = 14 .......................... equation 2

solving the system of linear equation by substitution method , from equation 1 , make x the subject of the formula , that is :

x = 84 - y .......................... equation 3

substitute x = 84 - y into equation 2 , that is

84 - y - 4y = 14

84 - 5y = 14

84 - 14 = 5y

70 = 5y

therefore :

y = 14

substitute y = 14 into equation 3 to find the value of x

x = 84 - y

x = 84 - 14

x = 70

check :

x + y = 84

70 + 14 = 84

x - 4y = 14

70 - 4( 14 )

70 - 56 = 14

Therefore : the bigger number is 70 and the smaller number is 14

For the parallelogram ABCD the extensions of the angle bisectors AG and BH intersect at point P. Find the area of the parallelog
natita [175]

Answer:

The area of a parallelogram is 360 in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

Where DG = GH

GP = 12 in.

AB = 39 in.

∠DAB + ∠ABC = 180° (Adjacent angles of a parallelogram)

Whereby ∠DAB is bisected by AG and ∠ABC is bisected by BH

Therefore, ∠GAB + ∠HBA = 90°

Hence, ∠BPA = 90° (Sum of interior angles of a triangle)

cos(\angle GAB) = \dfrac{AP}{AB} = \dfrac{AP}{39} = \dfrac{GP}{GH} =\dfrac{12}{GH}

We note that ∠AGD = ∠GAB (Alternate angles of parallel lines)

∴ ∠AGD = ∠AGD since ∠AGD = ∠GAB (Bisected angle)

Hence AD = DG (Side length of isosceles triangle)

The bisector of ∠ADG is parallel to BH and will bisect AG at point Q

Hence ΔDAQ  ≅ ΔDGQ ≅ ΔGPH and AQ = QG = GP

Hence, AP = 3 × GP = 3 × 12 = 36

cos(\angle GAB) = \dfrac{AP}{AB} = \dfrac{36}{39}

\angle GAB = cos^{-1} \left (\dfrac{36}{39}  \right )

∠GAB = 22.62°

cos(\angle GAB) =  \dfrac{36}{39} = \dfrac{12}{GH}

GH =  \dfrac{39}{36} \times {12}

GH = 13 in.

∴ AD 13 in.

BP = 39 × sin(22.62°) = 15 in.

GH = √(GP² + HP²)

∠DAB = 2 × 22.62° = 45.24°

The height of the parallelogram = AD × sin(∠DAB) =  13 × sin(45.24°)

The height of the parallelogram = 120/13 =  9.23 in.

The area of a parallelogram = Base × Height = (120/13) × 39 = 360 in.²

The letters of the alphabet are written on cars and placed in a brown paper bag. What is the probability of drawing a vowel, rep
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

25 / 676

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5 vowels in the alphabets, and there are 26 alphabets in total as a whole.

The probability of drawing a vowel kb first trial is going to be

5 / 26, total number of vowels and total number of alphabets as a whole.

Again, we're told to replace the picked vowel, and pick another vowel, so that will once again be

5 / 26.

To get the final answer, we multiply both answers by each other

5 / 26 * 5 / 26 = 25 / 676.

Therefore, the probability has been found to be 25 / 676
