Answer:

13 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

create an equation to solve:

(2x-3) + x = 36

3x - 3 = 36 combine like terms

+3 +3 add 3 to both sides

3x = 39

3 3 divide both sides by 3

x = 13

13 is the first number

the 2nd number is 3 let than twice the first so we create and solve a new equation:

2x - 3 = ?

2(13) = ? substitute 13 from the

smaller number to solve

23 = the 2nd number

What is x/9 = 9/27 help plz

Irina18 [472]

<h3>QUESTION: </h3>

what is x/9 = 9/27 help plz

<h3>ANSWER AND SOLUTION: </h3>

SOLVING FOR X

Reduce first the fraction with 9

$\large \sf = \dfrac{x}{9} = \dfrac{ \cancel9}{ \cancel{27}}$

 $\large \sf = \dfrac{x}{9} = \dfrac{1}{3}$ 

Now simplify using cross-multiply

 $\large \sf = \dfrac{3x}{9} = 1$ 

 $\large \sf = 3x = 1 \times 9$ 

 $\large \sf = 3x = 9$ 

Lastly divide both sides

 $\large \sf = 3x \div 3 = 9 \div 3$ 

 $\large \sf = x = 9 \div 3$ 

 $\large \sf = x = 3$ 

<h3>FINAL ANSWER:</h3>

$\huge \orange{ \underline{ \boxed{ \sf{x = 3}}}}$

HOPE THIS HELP YOU! HAVE A NICE DAY!

9. Factorize: 6x2 - 19x + 14.

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to factor the given polynomial

We have this as;

6x^2 - 19x + 14

= 6x^2 -12x-7x + 14

= 6x(x-2) -7(x-2)

= (6x-7)(x-2)

6x^2-19x + 14 = (6x-7)(x-2)

ABCEDEFGH is a regular octagon. The minimum degree of rotation by which this octagon can map onto itself is . It will take incre

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

45 or multiples of 45 around the centre of octagon

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ABCDEFGH is a regular octagon. i.e. it has 8 sides.

Since regular ocagon, all interior angles would be equal.

Sum of all interior angles of octagon = 2(8)-4 right angles

= 12 right angles

Hence each angle = 12(90)/8 = 135 degrees

Thus the octagon when rotated will take the same shape if vertices interchange also due to the property that all sides and angles are equal

Since each angle is 135 imagine an octagon with one vertex at origin O, and adjacent vertex B on x axis. OB has to be coincident with BC the next side or the previous side to get it mapped onto itself

The centre will be at the middle with each side subtending an angle of 45 degrees.

Hence if rotation is done around the centre with 45 degrees we will get octagon mapped onto itself.

45, 90, 135 thus multiples of 45
