Answer:
The larger number is -6, the smaller number is -15
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two numbers, a and b.
We know that one number is larger than another by 9.
Then we can write:
a = b + 9
then a is larger than b by 9 units.
If the greater number is increased by 10 (a + 10) and the lesser number is tripled (3*b), the sum of the two would be -41:
(a + 10) + 3*b = -41
So we got two equations:
a = b + 9
(a + 10) + 3*b = -41
This is a system of equations.
One way to solve this is first isolate one variable in one of the two equations:
But we can see that the variable "a" is already isolated in the first equation, so we have:
a = b + 9
now we can replace that in the other equation:
(a + 10) + 3*b = -41
(b + 9) + 10 + 3*b = -41
now we can solve this for b.
9 + b + 10 + 3b = -41
(9 + 10) + (3b + b) = -41
19 + 4b = -41
4b = -41 -19 = -60
b = -60/4 = -15
b = -15
then:
a = b + 9
a = -15 + 9 = -6
a = -6
Answer:
4×sqrt(5) inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean theorem states that (for right triangles) if you square each shorter side and add those together, you will get the sum of the longest side (hypotenuse) squared.
This is commonly written as:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where c is the hypotenuse.
((For right triangles this will always be opposite the 90° angle.))
Since you know one of the shorter sides and the hypotenuse, rewrite the equation as such:
c^2 - b^2 = a^2, where a is the unknown length
This goes to:
sqrt(c^2 - b^2) = a
sqrt((12in)^2 - (8in)^2) = a
sqrt(144sqin - 64sqin) = sqrt(80sqin) = a
This simplifies to:
sqrt(16sqin)×sqrt(5sqin) = 4in×sqrt(5sqin) = a
The answer is c
1/6 divided by 1/2
i had this question on my own
Answer:
440.22
Step-by-step explanation:
440.221281415
If we are rounding to 2 decimal places, then we need to look at the third decimal place to see if we round up or leave it alone
440.221 we look at the 1 1< 5 so we leave the 2 alone
440.221281415 rounds to 440.22
