Let assume that the the two numbers are X and Y and that X is the large number.
According to the question, 
X + Y = 53 .................. Equation 1
then,  X = 11 + Y........... Equation 2
Substitute equation 2 into equation 1.
[11 + Y] + Y = 53
11 + 2Y = 53
2Y = 53 - 11 = 42
2Y = 42
Y = 42 / 2 = 21,
Therefore, Y = 21 [Small number].
According to equation 1, 
X +Y = 53
X + 21 = 53
X = 53 - 21 = 32.
Therefore, X = 32 [Big number].

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The explanation in option choice C is better than what I can give, but the triangles are similar, meaning they either share angles or side lengths, not congruent, where they have to share both.

Reflecting over the x-axis in words and formula
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Formula: (x, -y), when reflecting over the x-axis you keep the x-value the same, but change the sign of the y-value. For example: You have the original coordinates (3, 5), and if you reflect it over the x-axis it’ll be (3, -5).

One Friday night, two large groups of people called Weston Taxi Service. The first group requested 2 sedans and 1 minivan, which
muminat

Answer:

Sedan: 4 passengers

Minivan: 6 passengers

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the following system of equations:

\begin{cases}2s+1m=14 \\2s+2m=20\end{cases}, where s represents the number of people a sedan can seat and m represents the number of people a minivan can seat.

Subtracting the first equation from the second, we have:

2s+2m-(2s+1m)=20-14,\\\\m=6

Now plug in m=6 in any of the equations to solve for s:

2s+1(6)=14, \\2s=8, \\s=4

Verify that the solution pair (4, 6) works:

2(4)+1(6)=14\: \checkmark \\2(4)+2(6)=20 \: \checkmark

Therefore, a sedan can hold 4 passengers and a minivan can hold 6 passengers.
