A value 5 times a smaller number is 1 less than a larger number. their difference is 73

Mathematics
1 answer:
salantis [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The numbers are 18 and 91

Step-by-step explanation:

You can translate the information to two equations:

<em>a value 5 times a smaller number is 1 less than a larger number</em>

5a = b - 1

<em>their difference is 73</em>

b - a = 73

Then you should merge one equation into the other, thereby eliminating one variable. You can do this any way you want. I choose to rewrite the first equation as:

b = 5a + 1

Now I can write 5a+1 in the second equation at the place where b was:

5a + 1 - a = 73

It is now an equation with only one variable, solve by simplifying

4a = 72

a = 18

Now b can be found using b = 5a + 1

b = 91

Find an equation of a sphere if one of its diameters has endpoints (3, 2, 5) and (5, 6, 7). Incorrect: your answer is incorrect.
prohojiy [21]

use midpoint equation

radius = distance between midpoint and one of the endpoints.

midpoint: (3+5)/2, (2+6)/2, (5+7)/2 = (4,4,6)

equation of sphere: (x-4)^2 + (y-4)^2 + (z-6)^2 = r^2

square distance between midpoint and one of the endpoints.

r^2 = 6

Equation: (x-4)^2 + (y-4)^2 + (z-6)^2 = 6
