Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required common multiplier of the given ratios be x.

Therefore, the required numbers are 5x and 7x.

According to the given information:

5x + 7x = 96

12x = 96

x = 96/12

x = 8

7x = 7*8 = 56

Thus, the largest number is 56.

Find the value of x.<br> xo<br> (x-20)<br> (2x + 10)<br> (x + 40)
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

66

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the following equation to solve

360 = x + (2x + 10) + (x - 20) + (x  + 40)

Reduce

360 = 5x + 30

5x = 330

x = 66

Using pythagorean theorem find a, and b, where a is twice of b and the hypotonuse is 5√5
patriot [66]
Measure of Hypotaneous = 5√5

And it's already given that b = 2a

By using pythagoras theorem:

a²+ b² = (5√5)²

Let's substitute for b as 2a in above equation we'll get:

a² + (2a)² = (5√5)²

a² + 4a² = 125
5a² = 125
a² = 25
a = √25 = 5


Therefore,
a= 5
and
b = 2a = 2(5) = 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of a line is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 1x+4

y = x+4
