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.

A dartboard has a diameter of 18 inches.What are its radius and circumference?
allsm [11]
Diameter of the dartboard as given in the question = 18 inches
Then
Radius of the dartboard will be = 18/2 inches
                                                  = 9 inches
We already know that
Circumference of a circle = <span>2π</span>r
We also know that the value of <span>π = 3.14159
Then
Circumference of the dartboard = 2 * 3.14159 * 9 inches
                                                    = 56.548 inches
                                                    = 56.55 inches
So the radius of the dartboard is 9 inches and the circumference of the dartboard is 56.55 inches. I hope the procedure is absolutely clear to you.

The radius of a circle of area a and circumference c is doubled. find the new area of the circle in terms of
maksim [4K]
By definition, the circumference of a circle is:
 c = 2 * pi * r&#10;
 The area of a circle is:
 a = pi * r ^ 2&#10;
 Where,
 r: radius of the circle.
 When the radius is double, then the new area is:
 A = \pi*(2r)^2&#10;
 Rewriting we have:
 A = 4 * \pi * r ^ 2&#10;
 In terms of a we have:
 A = 4 * a
 Answer:
 
The new area of the circle in terms of a is:
 
A = 4 * a
