Let's call the two numbers x and y. We can write a system of equations to describe the situation:

5x = 8y

x - y = 150

Let's solve the first equation for x:

x = 8y/5

Now we can use substitution to solve the system by plugging 8y/5 in for x in the second equation:

(8y/5) - y = 150

Simplify:

3y/5 = 150

3y = 750

y = 250

If y = 250, then x is:

x = 8(250)/5 = 400

The answer is 250 and 400.

3. Luis wants to calculate the volume of his globe. The globe is in the shape of a sphere, as represented in
Aloiza [94]

The measure which is closest to the volume of Luis's globe is; 6301.2in³

<h3>Volume of a sphere</h3>

If the circumference of the globe along the equator is 72inches along the equator;

  • C = 72 = 2π× r

Hence, the radius of the globe can be evaluated as;

  • r = 72/(2×3.14)

  • r = 72/6.28

r = 11.46in.

On this note, the Volume, V of the globe is;

  • V = (4/3) × π × r³

  • V = (4/3) × 3.14 × 11.46³

V = 6301.2in³

Is cos theta=cos(-theta)
saul85 [17]

Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

An even function is a function that satisfies that f(x) = f(-x). Also, we know that cosine is an even function, therefore cos(theta) equals cos(-theta).

Answer:

x=7 and m<LMN = 120

Step-by-step explanation:

if MO bisects LMN then 13x - 31 must be equal to x + 53

13x - x = 53 + 31

12x = 84

x = 7

and

13x - 31 + x + 53 = m<LMN

14x + 22 = m<LMN

since x is 7

14×7 + 22 = 120
