Twice the sum of two numbers is 24. if one number is 2 times larger than the other, what is the smaller of the two numbers?

1 answer:

4 0

2(x+y)=24
2x=y

Use substitution. If y=2x, than we can substitute 2x for it in the other equation, because x and y equal the same things in both equations.

So using that we get 2(x+2x)=24

SIMPLIFY
2(3x)=24

DISTRIBUTE
6x=24.

DIVIDE: x=4.

If we substitute x into the original equations we get x=4 and y=8. Those are your two numbers.

Have a nice day! :)

PLEASE EXPLAIN TOO SO I CAN SOLVE OTHER SIMILAR ONES.

Answer: x = 30' , y = 45'

hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

U is 90' it's a right triangle

well simple VRT you already know 2 angles which is 60' and 90'

R = 60'

V = 90'

T = x

you know that a triangle = 180'

so you do

180 - 60 - 90 = x

30 = x

if you want to do y

then you already know that U is 90' on both sides.

since you also know S,

S = 45'

U = 90'

V = y

180 - 90 - 45 = y

45 = y

Use the formula to evaluate the series 1/4 + 1/9 + 1/27 + 1/81.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Is the first term supposed to be 1/4, or did you actually mean 1/3?

I'll assume the latter. Write

$S=\dfrac13+\dfrac19+\dfrac1{27}+\dfrac1{81}$
$S=\dfrac13+\dfrac1{3^2}+\dfrac1{3^3}+\dfrac1{3^4}$
$\dfrac13S=\dfrac1{3^2}+\dfrac1{3^3}+\dfrac1{3^4}+\dfrac1{3^5}$
$\implies S-\dfrac13S=\dfrac13-\dfrac1{3^5}$
$\dfrac23S=\dfrac13\left(1-\dfrac1{3^4}\right)$
$S=\dfrac12\left(1-\dfrac1{81}\right)$
$S=\dfrac{40}{81}$
