Answer:
The sum of two numbers is 18.
5 times the first number subtracted from 4/7 of the second number is 14.
First number --> x
Second number --> y
so
x + y = 18 --> x = 18-y
5x - (4/7)y = 14
so
5 (18-y) - (4/7)y = 14
90 - 5y - 4/7 y = 14
-5.57 y = 14-90
y = 13.64
so
x = 18 - 13.64
x = 4.36
The answer is 24 as it's the smallest number given that is divisible by both 6 and 8.
here the equation of path is -2x-7=y
let us find slope of this line by using y=mx+b
so slope m=-2
now new path is perpendicular to this path.
product of slopes of perpendiculars is -1
so slope of new path is 1/2
now it passes through (-2,-3) with slope 1/2
using y=mx+b to get value of b
-3=1/2(-2) +b
b=-2
plugging m=-1/2 and b=-2 in y=mx + b to get the final equation as
y=(-1/2) x -2 is the equation of new path
set up a ratio to find the length:
15/12 = DE/16
cross multiply the 15 & 16:
15 * 16 = 240
divide that by 12 to get DE
240 / 12 = 20
DE = 20
