X+(x-20)=44
2x= 64
x=32

Therefore the bigger number is 32 and the smaller number is 12
32+12=44

Sum means add
x and y are the numbers
sum i 44
x+y=44

smaller s 20 les than larger
x=20+y
or
y=20+x
doesn't matter, just pick one
x=20+y

substue 20+y for x since they are equal
x+y=44
(20+y)+y=44
20+y+y=44
20+2y=44
subtract 20 from both sides
2y=24
divide by 2
y=12
subsitue
x=20+y
x=20+12
x=32

the numbers are 12 and 32

In a class, every student knows French or German (or both). 15 students know French, and 17 students know German.

leva [86]

Answer:
32 students

Explanation:
We are given that:
Students in the class can either speak French, German or both
15 students know French
17 students know German

Now, the maximum number in the class can be calculated by assuming that no student can speak both languages.
This means that the number of students will be the summation of those who know French only (15) and those who know German only (17)

In this case:
the maximum number of students = 15 + 17 = 32 students

Hope this helps :)

This trapezium is drawn on a centimetre grid. Find the area of the trapezium.

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

20 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

A trapezium is given to us on the grid and we need to find out the area of the trapezium . In order to find the area , we need to find the measure of the parallel sides and the distance between the parallel sides.

From the grid :-

$\rm\implies Side_1 = 7 \ units$

$\rm\implies Side_2 = 3 \ units$

$\rm\implies \perp \ Distance =4 \ units$

Now here we got the two parallel sides of the trapezium and the distance between the two parallel sides. Now we can find the area as ,

$\rm\implies Area_{Trapezium}= \dfrac{1}{2}\times ( s_1 + s_2) \times \perp \ Distance \\\\\rm\implies Area = \dfrac{1}{2} \times ( 7 + 3 ) \times 4 \ unit^2 \\\\\rm\implies Area = \dfrac{1}{2} \times ( 10) \times 4 \ unit^2 \\\\\rm\implies\boxed{\rm Area = 20 \ unit^2}$

The function f(x)=(x-1)^4 is not one to one. However, if we restrict the domain to x greater than or equal to 0, we can find it'

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain should be greater than/equal to 1 for the function to be one-one.

f has vertex at (1,0)

f inverse has (0,1)

f(x) = 4

(x - 1)⁴ = 4

x = 2.414

On f: (2.414, 4)

On f inverse: (4, 2.414)
