Answer:

12 and 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the numbers using x and y.  Then y - x = 16.  (y is the larger one.)

Then 3y = 7x, and y = (7/3)x.

Substituting (7/3)x for y in y - x = 16, we get:

(7/3)x - x = 16.

Eliminate the fraction by multiplying all three terms by 3:

7x - 3x = 48, or 4x = 48, yielding x = 12.  Then y = (7/3)(12) = 28.

The area in square feet of a rectangular field is x^2-100x+2400. The width, in feet is x-40. What is the length, in feet?
sattari [20]

Answer:

x-60

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to factor out the quadratic.

You know that one of the factors is x-40.

To factor:

Find a number that when added to -40, gives you -100, and also when multiplied, gives you 2400.

That such number is -60.

Add an x before it, and you get (x-60)

Komok [63]

Answer:

Following are the responses to the given question:

Step-by-step explanation:

In point 1

The random selection stratified: although 50 statements belong to 5 different groups.

In point 2:

Coincide pair design: As we're in the SAME location to measure the difference between the downstream and upstream fractures. Although when calculating a top-down split they need only to calculate the low-up split which corresponds to the top-down split.

In point 3:

Matched layout: As 100 individuals were chosen and ALL were required to give BOTH and document certain responses.

In point 4:

SRS: RANDOMLY has also been selected since 20 spring break goals.
