Let the two numbers be x and y.
x+y= 9
x-3=y
Substitute the two equations together
x+x-3=9
2X=12
X=6.
Y= 6-3=3

The required numbers are 6 and 3

<u>Solution:</u>                                                                                              Assume the required numbers are a and b,

Given that the sum of two numbers is nine that is, a+b=9\rightarrow(1)

One number is three more than the other that is, a=b+3\rightarrow(2)

On substituting (2) in (1) we get,

\Rightarrow b+3+b=9\rightarrow 2b+3=9

On grouping the similar terms we get,

\Rightarrow 2b=9-3 \rightarrow 2b=6 \rightarrow

\Rightarrow b=\frac{6}{2}\rightarrow b=3 \rightarrow (3)

On substituting (3) in (1) we get,

a+3=9\rightarrow a=9-3\rightarrow a=6

Therefore, the number are 6 and 3.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to use trigonometric functions

cos 30 = adj. /hyp.

cos 30 = 12 / y

y = 12/cos 30 ≅13.86

tan 30 = opp./adj

tan30 = x / 12

x = 12 tan30 ≅6.93

Kerry has 5 metal and 3 wood
Ray Of Light [21]

Expression

(5+3)+(5x2)=p

Solution

18

(Step-by-Step)

In this expression we simply have to use basic PEMDAS (Parenthesis Equation Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction) Order.

We start by working out the parenthesis

5 + 3  and 5 x 2

First let's work out our metal and wood paperweights

5+3=8

Simple enough, we have 8 metal AND wood paperweights

Now we have to work out our glass paperweights.

We have twice as many glass as we do metal PW's  meaning we need to multiply the 5 metal paperweights by 2

5x2=10

This simplifies and boils our equation down to

8+10

simply solve and add the two and you have your answer

18
