Let x be one number and y be the other.
#1 - Set up a system of equations.
4x = y
x + y = 45
#2 - Solve the system by substitution.
x + (4x) = 45
5x = 45
x = 9
(9) + y = 45
y = 36
I would be glad to help you, however what is the function?
Answer:
h = 19.7 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Pythagoras Theorem

Now we take square root on both sides,

so the value of h equals 19.7 ft.
27 inches ......... 3/8
x inches .............8/8
<h3>x = (27×8/8)/(3/8) = 27×8/3 = 216/3 = 72 inches (father)</h3>
