Answer:

13 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

create an equation to solve:

(2x-3) + x = 36

3x - 3 = 36 combine like terms

<u> +3 +3</u><u> </u> add 3 to both sides

<u>3</u>x = <u>39</u>

3 3 divide both sides by 3

x = 13

<u>13 is the first number</u>

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

<u>23 = the 2nd number</u>

What is the value of k?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

<h2>             k = 3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex is (d, e)

for quadratic function: f(x) = ax² + bx + c  we have:

d = -b/a    and    d = (x₁ + x₂)/2  

a = 1,   b = k,   x₁ = -4,    x₂=-2      

so:

d = -b/a = -k/1 = -k   and   d = (x₁ + x₂)/2 = (-4-2)/2 = -3

-k = -3

k = 3

Gelneren [198K]

  • B: 2/9, 1800
  • C: 4/9, 3600

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of ratio units is 3+2+4 = 9, so the fractions each school got were ...

  A : B : C = 3/9 : 2/9 : 4/9

These fractions multiply the total amount raised:

  A got 1/3 = 2700, B got 2/9 = 1800, C got 4/9 = 3600

A patio in the shape of a regular octagon (8-sided figure) has a side length of 24 ft and an apothem length of 60 ft. What is th
Damm [24]
Given:
Octagon-shaped patio
Side length = 24ft
apothem length = 60ft

Area of a regular octagon = 2 * a² * (1 + √2)
a = side length

A = 2 * (24ft)² * (1 + √2)
A = 2 * 576ft² * (1 + 1.414)
A = 2 * 576ft² * 2.414
A = 2,780.93 ft²
