The quotient of two less than a number and five is eight

Mathematics
1 answer:
postnew [5]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The number is 42.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the unknown number.

"two less than a number" is x - 2

Quotient means the result of a division.

(x - 2)/5 = 8

Multiply both sides by 5.

x - 2 = 40

Add 2 to both sides.

x = 42

Answer: The number is 42.

Check.

Start with 42. 2 less than 42 is 40. The quotient of 40 and 5 is 40/5 which is 8. The answer is correct.

Answer: Length: 4, width: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length be x and width be y

Then x=2y-8 and xy=24

Substitute to get 2y-8 * y = 24, so 2y^2-8y=24 or y^2-4y=12, then solve to get y=6 or y=-2. Since width is positive y=6.

Substitute y=6 into xy=24 to get x=4.

Length: 4, width: 6

Hope that helped,

Noah is baking a two-layer cake, in which the bottom layer is a circle and the top layer is a triangle. If segment AB = 5 inches
padilas [110]

Hey There!! I already did this Question before but, I'm just going to say it...

segment AB ≅ segment BC because their arcs are congruent; therefore, ΔABC is an isosceles triangle ⇒ answer D. * Lets revise some facts in the circle

- If a circle is circumscribed around a triangle, then the vertices of the

triangle divide the circle into three arcs

- The three sides of the triangle are the chords of the circle

- Each chord in the circle subtended by an arc

- If two arcs equal, then they are subtended equal chords

* Lets solve the problem

∵ Circumscribed circle D around triangle ABC

- The vertices of triangle ABC lie on the circumference of the circle

∴ AB , BC , AC are the chords of the circle

- Arcs AB and AC are congruent

∵ Arc AB ≅ arc AC

∵ Arc AB subtended the chord AB

∵ Arc AC subtended the chord AC

∴ AB = AC

∵ AB = 6 inches

∴ AC = 6 inches

- The triangle with two equal sides is called an isosceles triangle

∴ Δ ABC is an isosceles triangle

∴ Noah know that the top layer of his cake is an isosceles triangle

* segment AB ≅ segment BC because their arcs are congruent;

therefore, ΔABC is an isosceles triangle.

Hope It Helped!~ ♡
