Answer:

y=2x+6 ; x+y=51

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming x is one number and y is the other -

one number (y) is 6 more (+6) than twice another (2x) -

using that knowledge we form an equation -

y=2x+6

the sum (x+y) is 51

using this knowledge we can make the equation -

x+y=51

now you have -

y=2x+6 or 2x-y=-6

x+y=51

using system of equations -

you add the equations -

3x=45

x=15

y=51-x => y=36

hope this helps!!

The two non-parallel sides of an isosceles trapezoid are each 7 feet long. The longer of the two bases measures 22 feet long. Th
Orlov [11]

The length of the diagonal and the shorter base are 17. 24 feet and 18. 7 feet long respectively.

<h3>How to determine the length</h3>

The cosine rule is given as;

c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2 - 2ab cos \alpha }

c = length of the diagonal

a = base length = 22 feet

b = 7 feet

c = \sqrt{7^2 + 22^2 - 2 * 7 * 22 cos 40}

c = \sqrt{533 - 308 * 0. 7660}

c = \sqrt{533 - 235. 93}

c = \sqrt{297. 072}

c = 17. 24 feet

Using sine rule

\frac{a}{sin A }  = \frac{c}{sin C}

\frac{a}{sin 70}  = \frac{17. 24}{sin 40}

Cross multiply

a × sin 60 = c × sin 70

a × 0. 8660 = 17. 24 × 0. 9397

a = \frac{16. 20}{0. 8660}

a = 18. 7 feet long

Thus, the length of the diagonal and the shorter base are 17. 24 feet and 18. 7 feet long respectively.
