Answer:

The smaller number equals 12, the larger number equals 51.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (3x + 15) = 63

Combine like terms.

4x + 15 = 63

Subtract 15 from both sides.

4x + (15 -15) = (63 - 15)

4x = 48

Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4 = 48/4

x = 12

Check answer.

12 + (3(12) + 15) = 63

12 + 36 + 15 = 63

63 = 63

-5= s<br> —<br> 18<br> Someone help please I’m stuck

Vlad1618 [11]

-5=s/18

Pretend that s/18 is 1/18s

-5=1/18s

Multiply by 18/1 for both sides

-5(18/1)=1/18(18/1)s

Cross out 1 and 1, divide by 1 and then is one.

Cross out 18 and 18, divide by 18 and then is one.

What is the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints(-2,-2) and (4,6)

Ann [662]

Answer:

The midpoint of points $(-2,-2)\ and\ (4,6)$ is $(1,2)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are $(-2,-2)\ and\ (4,6)$ . We need to find the midpoint of the line segment.

The formula of finding midpoints between the point $(x_1,y_1)\ and\ (x_2,y_2)$ is

$(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}),(\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})\ Equation(1)$

W have points $(x_1,y_1)=(-2,-2)$ . And $(x_2,y_2)=(4,6)$

Let us plug the value in Equation (1)

$(\frac{-2+4}{2} ),(\frac{-2+6}{2})$

$(\frac{2}{2}),(\frac{4}{2})\\ \\(1,2)$

So, the midpoint of points $(-2,-2)\ and\ (4,6)$ is $(1,2)$ .

what formulas could be used to determine the surface area of a cylinder sandwiched between one cone and half of a sphere?

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer: Rectangle around the cylinder, Lateral surface of the cone, Half a sphere

To find this surface area, you have 3 different parts. First, you need the rectangular portion of the cylinder, because the circles will be on the inside of the composite shape. Then, you will need the lateral side of the cone, that's everything but the circular base. Again, the circle will be on the interior. Finally, you should find the surface area of half of the sphere.
