Answer:

x = 18  (Smaller number)

y = 35 (Larger number)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, begin by setting up a system of equations.

'x' being the smaller number, while

'y' is the larger number.

We can construct the equations:

x + y = 53

3x = y + 19

Rearrange the second equation to equal 'y':

3x - 19 = y

Plug this value of 'y' into the first equation:

x + 3x - 19 = 53

Combine like terms and simplify:

4x - 19 = 53

4x = 72

x = 18

Plug in this value for 'x' into an equation to solve for 'y':

18 + y = 53

y = 35.

Answer:

18 and 35

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, begin by setting up a system of equations.

'x' being the smaller number, while

'y' is the larger number.

We can construct the equations:

3x = y + 19

Rearrange the second equation to equal 'y':

3x - 19 = y

Plug this value of 'y' into the first equation:

x + 3x - 19 = 53

Combine like terms and simplify:

4x - 19 = 53

4x = 72

x = 18

Plug in this value for 'x' into an equation to solve for 'y':

18 + y = 53

y = 35.

Suppose you construct lines L, M, and N so that L is perpendicular to M and L is parallel to N. which of the following is true.
Blizzard [7]

In the question we are given three lines L,M and N such that:

Line L is perpendicular to M

and line L is parallel to line N

so the option is (C) M is perpendicular N

Step-by-step explanation

We are given three lines L,M and N such that:

  • Line L is perpendicular to M
  • Line L is parallel to line N

<u>We know that when one line parallel to the second line and is perpendicular to the third line then the second line is also perpendicular to the third line.</u>

<u></u>

So,the answer is  (C) M is perpendicular N
