State A has 25 drive-in movie screens and State B has 21. You find this by guess-and-checking different numbers that you could add together to get 46. You want to do numbers that are relatively close, as a difference in 4 is not much at all. You can divide 46 by 2 and then play around from there.
The value of k is
<h3>How to solve the simultaneous equation?</h3>
Given:
x-y=k.............(eq i)
2x²+y²-15..............(eq ii)
We would make y the subject formula in eq ii
2x²+y²-15= 0
2x² + y²= 15
y²= 15-2x²
y=
...........(eq iii)
Substitute the value of y into eq i
x-(
= k
x- (
= k
k=

The ratio of the area of the <u>first figure</u> to the area of the <u>second figure</u> is 4:1
<h3>Ratio of the areas of similar figures </h3>
From the question, we are to determine the ratio of the area of the<u> first figure</u> to the area of the <u>second figure</u>
<u />
The two figures are similar
From one of the theorems for similar polygons, we have that
If the scale factor of the sides of <u>two similar polygons</u> is m/n then the ratio of the areas is (m/n)²
Let the base length of the first figure be ,m = 14 mm
and the base length of the second figure be, n = 7 mm
∴ The ratio of their areas will be



= 4:1
Hence, the ratio of the area of the <u>first figure</u> to the area of the <u>second figure</u> is 4:1

Answer:
10 and 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'x' and 'y' are the numbers we need to find.
x + y = 25 (two numbers whose sum is 25)
(1/x) + (1/y) = 1/6 (the sum of whose reciprocals is 1/6)
The solutions of the this system of equations are the numbers we need to find.
x = 25 - y
1/(25 - y) + 1/y = 1/6 multiply both sides by 6(25-y)y
6y + 6(25-y) = (25-y)y
6y + 150 - 6y = 25y - (y^2)
y^2 - 25y + 150 = 0 quadratic equation has 2 solutions
y1 = 15
y2 = 10
Thus we have
:
First solution: for y = 15, x = 25 - 15 = 10
Second solution: for y = 10, x = 25 - 10 = 15
The first and the second solution are in fact the same one solution we are looking for: the two numbers are 10 and 15 (since the combination 10 and 15 is the same as 15 and 10).
