Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y.

"The sum of two numbers is 43." gives us the first equation.

x + y = 43

"One number is five less than three times the other number." gives us the second equation.

y = 3x - 5

Now we solve the system of two equations below.

x + y = 43

y = 3x - 5

Since the second equation is already solved for y, we will use the substitution method. We substitute 3x - 5 for y in the first equation.

x + y = 43

x + 3x - 5 = 43

4x - 5 = 43

4x = 48

x = 12

The first number is 12. Now we find the second number.

x + y = 43

12 + y = 43

y = 31

The larger number is 31.

Answer:

31 is greater

Step-by-step explanation:

I will solve your system by substitution.

x=3y−5;43=x+y

Step: Solve x=3y−5 for x:

Step: Substitute 3y−5for x in 43=x+y:

43=x+y

43=3y−5+y

43=4y−5 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

43+−4y=4y−5+−4y (Add -4y to both sides)

−4y+43=−5

−4y+43+−43=−5+−43 (Add -43 to both sides)

−4y=−48

(Divide both sides by -4)

y=12

Step: Substitute12foryinx=3y−5:

x=3y−5

x=(3)(12)−5

x=31(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=31 and y=12

31 is greater than 12

A circle with radius of 4cm sits inside a circle with radius of 11cm.
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Area of shaded region = 329.70 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle = πr²

Area of bigger circle = 3.14 × 11²

= 3.14 × 11 × 11

= 379.94 cm²

Area of smaller circle = 3.14 * 4²

= 3.14 × 4 × 4

= 50.24 cm²

Area of shaded region

= Area of bigger circle - Area of smaller circle

= (379.94 - 50.24) cm²

= 329.70 cm²

One card is drawn at random from a deck of 52 cards. The first card is not replaced, and a second card is drawn. (Enter your pro
andriy [413]

Answer:

We have a 52 card deck:

a. Find the probability that both cards are clubs.

The probability of drawing a club will be equal to the quotient between the number of clubs in the deck divided by the total number of cards in the deck.

We initially have 13 clubs and 52 cards, then the probability of drawing a club in the first draw is:

p1 = 13/52.

Now the probability of drawing a club in the second draw will be:

p2 = 12/51

Where each number is decreased by one because we already drew a card, and that card was a club.

Then the probability of both events happening will be equal to the product of the individual probabilities:

P = p1*p2 = (13/52)*( 12/51) = 0.059

b. Find the probability that the first card is a spade and the second is a club.

Same as before, the probability of first drawing a spade is:

p1 = 13/52

And the probability of drawing a club in the second draw will be:

p2 = 13/51

This case differs from the prior one because for the second draw we have 13 clubs in the deck, and as we already drew one card (that was not a club) the total number of cards in the deck is 51.

Now the joint probability will be:

P = p1*p2 = (13/52)*(13/51) = 0.064

The Hypotenuse Angle Theorem, similar to the HL Theorem, states that if the hypotenuse and one angle of a right triangle are con
Maru [420]

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to proof the HA theorem, we consider two triangles  and   which are right angle triangles. The right angle lies at points  and   respectively.

We also consider that the hypotenuse are congruent meaning  and  .

Now we have taken that angle  and  .

Since  and  are 90 degrees, so angle B would be congruent to angle E i.e  

Hence by Angle, side and angle congruence in both triangles we can write as,  .

And this is what the HA thoerem states also
