18 and 35. The numbers whose sum 53 are 18 and 35.

The key to solve this problem is using a system of equations.

There are two numbers whose sum is 53. This number can be represented as x and y. So:

x + y = 53

Three times the smaller number is equal to 19 more than the larger. Let's set x as the smaller number and y the larger number. So:

3x = 19 + y

Clear y in both equations and let's use the equalization method to solve for x:

y = 53 - x and y = 3x - 19

Then,

53 - x = 3x - 19

53 + 19 = 3x + x ---------> 3x + x = 53 + 19 -------> 4x = 72

x = 72/4 = 18

To find y, let's substitute x = 18 in the equation x + y = 53

18 + y = 53 --------> y = 53 - 18

y = 35

<h3>What is the history of Angkor?</h3>

A dynasty of Khmer monarchs oversaw one of the biggest, wealthiest, and most advanced kingdoms in Southeast Asia's history from the city of Angkor, which served as the country's capital. The kings of Angkor ruled over a region that stretched from the tip of the Indochinese Peninsula northward to modern-day Yunnan province, China, and from Vietnam westward toward the Bay of Bengal from the last decade of the 9th century, when King Yashovarman I made Angkor his home, until the early years of the 13th century. These kings built a number of enormous structures throughout this time period to exalt themselves, their gods, and their capital city. They did this by using the enormous labour and financial resources at their disposal.

The are of a rectangle is 5/8 square feet. The width of the rectangle is 2 1/2 feet. What is the length of the rectangle?
bezimeni [28]
The length of the rectangle is 0.25 or 1/4. This is because the area is equal to 5/8 or 0.625, and the width of the rectangle is 2 1/2 or 0.25. So 0.625/2.5 = 0.25 or 1/4.

Explain why the product of 2 times any number is an even number
leonid [27]

If you add 2 odd numbers together eg. 5+5 it would become an even number eg. 10.

If you add 2 even numbers together eg. 60+60 it would stay as an even number eg.120.

The product is basically the same thing as that but instead of adding the same number twice, you multiplying the number with 2 which is the same as adding two of the same numbers.
