Let's set up an equation.
smaller number = x
larger number = 2x - 5
Now set up the equation so that the larger number plus the smaller number adds up to 43.
x + 2x - 5 = 43
3x - 5 = 43 ( I added the x and 2x)
3x = 48 ( I added 5 to both sides)
x = 16 (I divided both sides by 3)

Now let's check it. Substitute 16 for every time there is an x.

16 + 2(16) - 5 = 43
16 + 32 - 5 = 43
48 - 5 = 43
43 = 43
It checks. x is equal to 16, so that means:
smaller number = 16
larger number = 27

Hope this helps =)

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The perimeter is P=73.12\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of the figure is equal to the circumference of a semicircle

plus the perimeter of a square minus the diameter of the circle

so

P=\pi r+4(b)-D

we have

r=8\ cm

b=16\ cm

D=16\ cm

The diameter of the circle is equal to the length side of the square

substitute

P=(3.14)(8)+4(16)-16

P=25.12+64-16

P=73.12\ cm

What is the value of R?
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 150 from both sides

-5r ≥ -62.5

Divide both sides by -5

r ≤ 12.5

(The greater than sign flips around when you divide or multiply both sides by a negative number)

Find f(-10).
marysya [2.9K]

Answer: -75

Explanation: In this problem, we're given the function f(x) = 7x - 5 and we're asked to find f(-10).

To find f(-10) or the value of the function when <em>x = -10</em> we simply substitute -10 in for <em>x</em> in our function.

So we have 7(-10) - 5 or -70 - 5 which equals -75.

So f(-10) or the value of the function when <em>x</em> <em>= 10</em> is -75.

Since your answer to this problem was <em>a</em>, your answer is correct.

A producer has fixed expenses of $980 to put on a 3-day production of a play. Each ticket to the play will be sold for $5.00. Th
zysi [14]

Answer:

196 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

The total expenses to put on a 3-day production of a play is $980. Each ticket to go and watch the play is going to be sold for $5. The producer sells x number of tickets, x number of tickets would cost 5x. Therefore to find the number of tickets the producer must sell so as to make a profit the money generated from selling the tickets must be more than the cost of production. Therefore we use the formula:

5x ≥ 980

Dividing through by 5:

x ≥ 980

x ≥ 980/5

x ≥ 196

Therefore the producer must sell at least 196 tickets so as to make a profit

Set up and solve an equation to find the measure of each missing angle.
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

<A = 76°

<B = 63°

<C = 41°

Plug in the value of x

<C = 34 + 7

<C = 41°

Step-by-step explanation:

63 + (2x + 8) + (x + 7) = 180 (sum of ∆)

Solve for x

63 + 2x + 8 + x + 7 = 180

Add like terms

78 + 3x = 180

Subtract 78 from each side

78 + 3x - 78 = 180 - 78

3x = 102

Divide both sides by 3

x = 34

<A = 2x + 8

Plug in the value of x

<A = 2(34) + 8 = 76°

<B = 63°

<C = x + 7

Plug in the value of x

<C = 34 + 7

<C = 41°
