The question of two numbers is eight the sum of the same two numbers is 72 what are the two numbers

Answer:

The two numbers are 64 and 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

You meant "quotient" of two numbers, right?

Represent the numbers by x and  y.

Then the quotient is x/y = 8, and beyond that we know that x + y = 72.

Solve this for x and y.  

If x/y = 8, then x = 8y.  Substituting this into x + y = 72, we get:

(8y) + y = 72, or 9y = 72.  Dividing both sides by 9 yields y = 8.

Since x/y = 8, letting y = 8 results in x = 64.

The two numbers are 64 and 8.

A line l2 is perpendicular to the line x + 2y – 5 = 0 without computing the gradient of this
Stells [14]

Answer:

y=2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

first, let's put the line into y=mx+b form (slope-intercept form), where m is the slope (or gradient) and b is the y intercept

add 5 to both sides

x+2y=5

subtract x from both sides

2y=-x+5

divide by 2

y=-1/2x+5/2

perpendicular lines have slopes (gradients) that are negative (one is positive, another one is negative) and reciprocal (they are essentially the same number, just "flipped")

to find the slope of I2:

since -1/2 is negative, that means the slope of I2 will be 2 (2/1 is the reciprocal of 1/2 (positive version of -1/2))

so here's our equation so far:

y=2x+b

now we need to find b

because line will pass through (3,4), we can use it to solve for b

substitute 4 as y and 3 as x

4=2(3)+b

multiply

4=6+b

-2=b

therefore the equation is y=2x-2

hope this helps!!
