The sum of two numbers is 56,and their difference is 10.What are the numbers?

1 answer:

6 0

So, X + Y = 56, and X - Y = 10.
We can say X = Y +10, so we can also say:
(Y+10) + Y = 56
2Y + 10 = 56

2Y = 46

Y = 23.

Then we can say

X - 23 = 10

So X = 33

What is equivalent to 7(3x-2)+4(x+5)

Sladkaya [172]

Distribute 7 to 3x and -2, and 4 to x and 5

7(3x - 2) = 21x - 14

4(x + 5) = 4x + 20

Combine like terms

21x + 4x = 25x

-14 + 20 = 6

25x + 6 is your answer

hope this helps

Need help finding the area of the shaded region. Round to the nearest tenth. Need help ASAP

Sergio [31]

Answer: 294.4 m²

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Separate the shaded region into two parts:

The section containing the central angle of 230° (360° - 130°)
The triangle with sides 11.1, 11.1 & 20.12 (use Law of Cosines)

$1.\ Area(A)=\pi\ r^2\ \bigg(\dfrac{\theta}{360}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad =\pi(11.1)^2\bigg(\dfrac{230}{360}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad =247.3$

$2.\ \text{Use Law of cosines to find the length of the third side.}\\\text{ Then use Heron's formula to find the Area of the triangle.}\\\\s=\dfrac{11.1+11.1+20.12}{2}=21.16\\\\\\A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\\\\.\ =\sqrt{21.16(21.16-11.1)(21.16-11.1)(21.16-20.12)}\\\\.\ =\sqrt{2227}\\\\.\ =47.1$

Area of shaded region = Area of (1) + Area of (2)

= 247.3 + 47.1

= 294.4
