The numbers are:  36 and 11 .
______________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________
Let us represent the TWO (2) numbers with the variables;
         "x" and "y" .
__________________________________________
     x + y = 47 .

     y − x = 25.
__________________________________________
Since:  " y − x = 25 " ;

Solve for "y" in terms of "x" ;

  y − x = 25  ;

Add "x" to each side of the equation:
_____________________________________________
   y − x + x  = 25 + x  ;

to get:

   y = 25 + x .

Now, since:

  x + y = 47 ;

Plug in "(25 + x)" as a substitution for "y"; to solve for "x" :

x + (25 + x) = 47  ;

x + 25 + x + 47 ;

2x + 25 = 47 ;

Subtract "25" from each side of the equation:

2x + 25 − 25 = 47 − 25 ;

2x  = 22  ;

Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "2" ;
 to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ; 
 
2x / 2 = 22 / 2 ;

    x = 11 ;
______________________________________________
x + y = 47<span> ;

</span>Plug in "11" for "x" into the equation ; to solve for "y" ;

11 + y = 47 ;

Subtract "11" from EACH SIDE of the equation;
  to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" ;

 11 + y − 11 =  47 − 11  ;

            y = 36 .
___________________________________________
So:  x = 11 , y = 36 ;
___________________________________________
 Let us check our work:

y − x = 25 ;

36 − 11 =? 25 ?  Yes!

x + y = 47 ;

36 + 11 =? 47 ? Yes!
______________________________________________
The numbers are:  36 and 11 .

Select from the following choices those graphs that represent only a dilation applied to this polygon with a scale factor great
romanna [79]

Answer:

B and C

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Select graphs that are dilated by a scale factor greater than 1

For graph A:

Graph A is smaller than the original graph. This indicates dilation with a scale factor less than 1

For graph B:

Graph B is bigger than the original graph and is dilated over (0,0). This indicates dilation with a scale factor greater than 1

For graph C:

Graph C is bigger than the original graph; however, it is not dilated over (0,0). This indicates dilation with a scale factor greater than 1

For graph D:

Graph D is bigger than the original graph; however, it is not only dilated but also flipped over (i.e. rotated).

<em>Hence, b and c is true</em>

H^-16/h^x=1/h^24 can someone help me please
Basile [38]

Given:

Consider the equation is

\dfrac{h^{16}}{h^x}=\dfrac{1}{h^{24}}

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

We have,

\dfrac{h^{-16}}{h^x}=\dfrac{1}{h^{24}}

Using properties of exponents, we get

h^{-16-x}=h^{-24}       [\because \dfrac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n},a^{-n}=\dfrac{1}{a^n}]

On comparing both sides, we get

-16-x=-24

Add 16 on both sides.

-x=-24+16

-x=-8

Multiply both sides by -1.

x=8

Therefore, the value of x is 8.
