Answer:

12 and 10   and

-12 and - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Larger number = x

Smaller number = x - 2

Equation

x*(x - 2) = 120

Solution

Remove the brackets

x^2 - 2x = 120    

Subtract 120 from both sides

x^2 - 2x - 120 = 0  Factor

(x - 12)(x + 10) = 0

x - 12 = 0

x - 12 + 12 = 12

the other number is 2 less than this one or x = 10

=================

x + 10 = 0

x = - 10

The number that is 2 less than this one is

x = -10 -2

x = -12

Consider the following equation x= r-h/y.Solve the equation for h
Flura [38]

x= r - h/y   subtract r from both sides

x-r = -h/y    multiply each side by -y

-y(x-r) = h

-xy +yr = h

Write the following relation as a linear equation in standard form. Include a space between terms and operations.
kow [346]

Answer:

In the form of

Y= mx+c

Y= 1/2x +2

m = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation in it's standard form is in the format

Y= mx+c

Where m is the slope and c is the y intercept

Let's use these two points to determine both the slope and the equation

(2, 3), (4,4)

Slope= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Slope= (4-3)/(4-2)

Slope= 1/2

Equation of the linear function

(Y-y1)/(x-x1)= m

(Y-3)/(x-2)= 1/2

2(y-3) = x-2

2y -6 = x-2

2y= x-2+6

2y= x+4

Y= 1/2x +2

A can of tuna has a volume 18pi cm3 and a height of 2 cm. Find the area of the label that wraps around the entire can and does n
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

The area of the label is 12\pi\ cm^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the radius

we know that

The volume of the cylinder (can of tuna) is equal to

V=\pi r^{2} h

In this problem we have

V=18\pi\ cm^{3}

h=2\ cm

substitute and solve for r

18\pi=\pi r^{2} (2)

Simplify

18=r^{2}(2)

r^{2}=9

r=3\ cm

step 2

<em>Find the lateral area of the can</em>

The lateral area of the cylinder (can of tuna) is equal to

LA=2\pi rh

we have

r=3\ cm

h=2\ cm

LA=2\pi (3)(2)=12\pi\ cm^{2}
