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

Mathematics

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

3(c-4)=4(c-6)<br> i don't know how to solve it, either
STatiana [176]

Answer:

c = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

3(c - 4) = 4(c - 6)

Use the distributive property on each side.

3c - 12 = 4c - 24

Now you need the terms with c on the left side and the numbers on the right side. Subtract 4c from both sides. Add 12 to both sides.

3c - 4c - 12 + 12 = 4c - 4c - 24 + 12

Combine like terms on each side.

-c = -12

Multiply both sides by -1.

c = 12

What is the solution to the system of equations? 3x - 6y = -12, x -2y =-8.
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to write down the equations so we can have a vision of the equations.

3x - 6y = -12

x - 2y = -8

Now we find the simpler equation, and we make it to where one of the variables is on one side.

Let's use the bottom equation.

x = 2y - 8

Now we plug in the equation to the other equation.

3(2y - 8) - 6y = -12

6y - 24 - 6y = -12

-24 = -12

0 = 12

This is a false statement. 0 does not equal 12. That means that the equation has no solutions.

P, Q &amp; R form a right-angled triangle.
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

m<RPQ = 22°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

m<SRQ = 90°

PS = PQ

m<SQR = 46°

Required:

m<RPQ

Solution:

m<SQR + m<SRQ + m<RSQ = 180°

Substitute

46° + 90° + m<RSQ = 180°

m<RSQ = 180° - 136°

m<RSQ = 44°

Find m<PSQ:

m<PSQ = 180° - m<RSQ (Angles on a straight line

m<PSQ = 180° - 44° (Substitution)

m<PSQ = 136°

Find m<RPQ:

∆QSP is an isosceles triangle with two equal base angles. Therefore:

m<RPQ = ½(180° - 136°)

m<RPQ = 22°
