The sum of two numbers is 3.1. Twice the large number is 7 more than 3 times the smaller number. What are the numbers?

Let the two numbers be x and y where x is greater than y.

So;

x + y = 3.1 ... (i)

2x - 3y = 7 ... (ii)

This forms a set of simultaneous equations (i) and (ii)

Solving the simultaneous equations by elimination;

We multiply (i) by 2 and (ii)  by 1 to get:

2x + 2y = 6.2 ... (i)

2x - 3y = 7 ... (ii)

Subtracting (i) - (ii) we get;

5y = -0.8

y = -0.8/5 = -0.16

x = 3.1 - -0.16 = 3.26

The numbers are 3.26 and -0.16.

For the number before x you would look for the rise over the run. in this case you can see that there is an intersection at (-2,0) and (0,1) you find the difference ox each so you have 2/1 or just 2 you can tell that the line is going up so it is positive. for the addition part look at where the y intercept is in this case it is at positive one. this makes your equation y=2x+1

The angled of a triangle are in the ratio of 2:3:4 find angles in degrees
jeyben [28]

40°, 60° and 80°

sum the parts of the ratio 2 + 3 + 4 = 9

The sum of the angles in a triangle = 180°

Divide 180 by 9 to find one part of the ratio

\frac{180}{9} = 20° ← 1 part of the ratio

2 parts = 2 × 20 = 40°

3 parts = 3 × 20 = 60°

4 parts = 4 × 20 = 80°

The angles in the triangle are 40°, 60° and 80°
