<h3><u>The value of the smaller number is 31.</u></h3><h3><u>The value of the larger number is 43.</u></h3>

y = 12 + x

y + x = 74

Since we have a value for y, we can plug it into the second equation

12 + x + x = 74

Subtract 12 from both sides.

x + x = 62

Combine like terms.

2x = 62

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 31


Now that we have a value of x, we can plug it into the original equation to get a value for y.

y = 12 + 31

y = 43

Find the constant of variation for the relation and use it to write an equation for the statement. Then solve the equation.
hammer [34]

Answer: option d.

Step-by-step explanation:

If <em>y </em>varies directly as <em>x</em> and <em>z</em>, the form of the equation is:

y=kxz

Where<em> k</em> is the constant of variation.

If y=4 when x=6 and z=1 then substitute these values into the expression and solve for <em>k:</em>

4=k(6)(1)\\4=6k\\k=\frac{4}{6}\\\\k=\frac{2}{3}

<em> </em>Substitute the value of <em>k</em>  into the expression. Then, the equation is:

y=\frac{2}{3}xz

To find the value of <em>y </em>when x=7 and z=4, you must substute these values into the equation. Therefore you obtain:

y=k=\frac{2}{3}(7)(4)

y(7,4)=\frac{56}{3}

Find the missing variable for a parallelogram:
irakobra [83]
Since the formula to find the area of a parallelogram is base times height (A=bh), and you have been given the area and base already, you can set up an equation. Let h=height in this formula. h x 3.4 = 25. Using this formula, to find the height, you would divide 25 by 3.4 and get approximately 7.35 inches. So, your height= 7.35in. Hope this helps!
