Natasha2012 [34]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Composite numbers are positive numbers that have factors, This means that they are divisible by numbers other than 1 and itself provided that number is a factor of the composite number. They possess at the bearest minimum level, a divisor other than  1 and itself. They are a natural number that is expressible as the product of two(or more) numbers other than 1 and itself.

For example:

4 is a composite number because its factors are 1, 2 and 4 which have another divisor apart from 1 and itself (4). That divisor is 2.

We all know that prime numbers are numbers that can be only be divided by 1 and itself.

Therefore, the sum of two composite number, for example:

4 + 6 = 10, We can now see that 10 is never a prime number.

The bigger of two numbers is four more
Otrada [13]

Answer:

X=the smaller

y=the larger

The bigger of two numbers is four more than the smaller, then:

y=x+4

one more than twice the smaller is the same as the larger, then

1+2x=y

We have the following system of equations:

y=x+4

y=2x+1

We solve this system by equal values method:

x+4=2x+1

x-2x=1-4

-x=-3

x=3

We find the value of "y"now:

y=x+4

y=3+4

y=7

the values of x and y are:

x=3

y=7

Which of the following sets could be the sides of a right triangle?
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

None of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

None of the answer choices are even triangles, let alone right triangles. The sum of the two smaller sides isn't larger than the bigger side on any of the triangles, which means that they cannot be closed.
