X+y=70
x=2y-5
x=larger number
y=smaller number
now plug in the value of x to only have one variable in the equation...
Way to solve for y:
(2y-5)+y=70
3y-5=70
add 5 on both sides...
3y=75
divide by 3 on both sides
y=25
1st way to solve for x:
now plug in y in the original equation...
x+25=70
subtract 25 on both sides...
x=45
2nd way to solve for x:
plug in y for the second equation...
x=25(2)-5
x=50-5
x=45
answer: the two numbers are 45 and 25.

A sweater is on sale for 20%
bagirrra123 [75]
 $72 To find out how much the sweater is without 20% off, you need to do this formula:

$60 x 20%

The answer is $12.

So, 20% of $60 is $12.

Now, you need to add 60 and 12 together to get the original sale price.

60 + 12

The answer is 72.

So the original price for the sweater is <span>72 dollars.</span>

What is the quotient 2y^-6y-20/4y+12 ÷ y+5y+6/3y^2+28y+27​
malfutka [58]

Answer with explanation:

 \rightarrow \frac{\frac{2y^2-6 y-20}{4 y+12}}{\frac{y^2+5 y+6}{3 y^2+28 y+27}}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{\frac{y^2-3y-10}{2 y+6}}{\frac{(y+2)(y+3)}{3 y^2+28 y+27}}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{\frac{(y-5)(y+2)}{2 (y+3)}}{\frac{(y+2)(y+3)}{3 y^2+28 y+27}}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{(y-5)(y+2)}{2 (y+3)}} \times {\frac{3 y^2+28 y+27}{(y+2)(y+3)}}\\\\ \rightarrow\frac{(y-5)\times(3 y^2+28 y+27)}{2 (y+3)^2}}

→y²+5y+6

=y²+3 y+2 y+6

=y×(y+3)+2×(y+3)

=(y+2)(y+3)

→y² -3 y-10

=y² -5 y+2 y -10

=y×(y-5)+2×(y-5)

=(y+2)(y-5)

PLEASE HELP
nirvana33 [79]

You don't say whether this is a right triangle or not.

Assuming it is a right triangle, then we use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the length of the hypotenuse:

(hypo) = (length of third side) = √(12^2 + 4^2) = √(144+16) = √160 = 4√10.

This is approx. 12.65 inches. Since this does not match any of the possible answer choices, we'll have to take a different approach to answering this question.

Given that 2 sides of the given triangle are 12 and 4 inches, respectively, we see that the 3rd side has to be longer than 8 inches; otherwise we'd have three line segments on the same line, not forming a triangle.

By this reasoning, 9 inches is the only possible answer that could be correct. With sides 12, 9 and 4 inches, the triangle would be obtuse and appear quite flat, but not be part of a straight line as with a third side of 8.
