The two numbers are 41 & 37.

The way to solve this is by setting up an equation. We know that 2 numbers are going to equal 78, so here would be the general equation (let x represent the number we don't know):

(x) + (x + 4) = 78

Now, we need to simplify it (combine like terms):

2x + 4 = 78

Then you can solve it like any other equation. Subtract 4 on both sides:

2x = 74

Divide by 2 on both sides:

x = 37.

So, now you know one number is equal to 37 and that the other is 37 + 4.

That's how you get 37 & 41.

X = ?

X +4= ?

(X+4) + x = 78

2X + 4 = 78. Subtract 4 from both sides

You get 2X = 74.  Divide both sides by 2 and you get x= 37

Now plug 37 in and you get 37 and 41

Send the answer from 18 to 23 with process in copy​
viktelen [127]

19. Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)

l = 25m

b = 16m

Perimeter of rectangular park = 2 (25 + 16)

= 50 + 32

= 82m

Perimeter of square park = 82m

(given that, perimeter of rectangular and square park are equal)

Perimeter of square = 4a

4a = 82

a = 82/4

a = 20.5m

Area of square park = a²

= 20.5²

= 420.25m²

20. Perimeter of regular hexagon = 6a

a = 2.5

6a = 6 × 2.5

= 15cm

21. Perimeter of regular decagon = 10a

a = 8

10a = 10 × 8

= 80cm

Which is the solution to the inequality? y minus 27 greater-than-or-equal-to negative 13 y greater-than-or-equal to negative 40
djyliett [7]

Answer:

y\geq 14

y greater than or equal to 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality:

y-27\geq -13

We solve it by isolating the variable y on one side. That is, in our case we add 27 to both sides and get:

y-27\geq -13\\y\geq 27-13\\y\geq 14
