Answer:

22 and 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the positive number be x.

Let the other number be y.

x = 2y + 4

xy = 198

Substitute x as 2y + 4 in the second equation.

(2y+4)y = 198

2y² + 4y = 198

2y² + 4y - 198 = 0

2(y-9)(y+11) = 0

y-9=0 or y+11=0

y=9

y=-11

The product is 198, so y is positive.

x(9)=198

x=22

Answer:

\large \boxed{\sf \  \  9 \text{ and } 22 \ \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

We can write that, x being the second number

(4 + 2*x) *x = 198

Let's solve this equation.

(4+2x)x=198\\\\4x+2x^2=198 \\\\\text{*** subtract 198 from both sides ***}\\\\2x^2+4x-198 = 0\\\\\text{*** The product of the zeroes is -198/2=-99=-11*9 and their sum is -4/2=-2 ***}\\\\2x^2+4x-198=2(x-9)(x+11)=0\\\\x=9 \ \ or \ \ x=-11

We are looking for positive number so the solution is 9.

And the first number is 4 + 2 * 9 = 4 + 18 = 22

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you

Using proportions, it is found that the measure of the inscribed angle B is of 30º.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In a circle, the inscribed angle is half the measure of the outside angle. Hence, in this problem, the measure of angle B is of 50% of 60º, hence:

m<B = 0.5 x 60º = 30º.

The average hourly charge of plumbers in the Denver area is $84.00 with a standard deviation of $4.00. Assume that the hourly ch
Simora [160]

Answer:

The probability is 0.31

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the probability that a random plumber called at Denver will charge an amount greater than $86 given the mean and the standard deviation.

Firstly, we calculate the standard score of $86 using the mean and the standard deviation.

Mathematically;

z-score = (x-mean)/SD

where x = 86, mean = 84 and SD = 4

z-score = (86-84)/4 = 2/4 = 0.5

Hence, we want to calculate P(z ≥ 0.5)

Using standard table

P( (z ≥ 0.5) = 1 - P(z ≤ 0.5) = 1 - ( 0.19146 + 0.5) = 0.30854

To the nearest hundredth = 0.31

For f(x) = 2x + 1 and g(x) = x2 - 7, find (f - g)(x).
kakasveta [241]

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2x+1

g(x)=2x-7

now,

  • f-g(x)=f(x)-g(x)
  • 2x+1-2x+7
  • 8

(f-g)(x)=8

hope it helps.
