Answer:

x=32, y=17

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference between two numbers is 15:

x-y=15

Greater number (x) is two less than twice the lesser number:

x=2y-2

-----

x-y=15,

x=2y-2.


x-y-x=15-2y+2

-y=15-2y+2

y=15+2

y=17

-----

x-y=15

x-17=15

x=17+15

x=32

Find NQ if NP = 13 cm and line l is a segment bisector.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

NQ = 26 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A line bisector divides a line into two equal segments.

Given that line l is the bisector of segment NQ, it then means it divides NQ into two equal segments, namely, segment NP and segment PQ.

Thus, NP = ½ of segment NQ

Therefore, if NP = 13 cm,

13 = ½*NQ

multiply both sides by 2

2*13 = NQ

26 = NQ

NQ = 26 cm

rusak2 [61]
The probability of Alyssa picking a nickel and a quarter would be 11/15 (eleven over fifteen)

6/15 plus 5/15 which is 11/15
You get 15 as the denominator because you add 6+4+5=15

What is the difference between the x-coordinates of B and C?
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Therefore, the point P (-3.5, 1.25) is the point 3/4 distance of A to B from A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The horizontal axis in the coordinate plane is called the x-axis. The vertical axis is called the y-axis. The point at which the two axes intersect is called the origin. ... In an ordered pair, such as (x, y), the first value is called the x-coordinate and the second value is the y-coordinate.
