Answer:

Larger rocket: 36 kiloliters

smaller rocket: 24 kiloliters

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets assign the letters: "L" to the number of kiloliters the "Larger" rocket gets, and "S" to the number of kiloliters that the "Smaller" rocket gets.

We can create two equations from the words given in the problem:

First equation: <em>A total of 60 kiloliters is to be used for "L" plus "S"</em>:

which gives us: L+S=60

Next equation comes from the words: "<em>The smaller rocket receives 12 kiloliters less than the larger rocket</em>"

which gives us: S=L-12

Now we can use this last equation to replace for the "S" unknown in the first equation (and thus reducing the problem to one equation with one unknown (L), that one can easily solve):

L+S=60\\L+(L-12)=60\\2L-12=60\\2L=60+12\\2L=72\\L=\frac{72}{2}\\ L=36

Therefore the amount of fuel that the larger rocket gets is 36 kiloliters.

And using the equation  "S = L - 12" we get: S=36-12=24

Which tells us that the smaller rocket gets 24 kiloliters of fuel.

Find the area of the figure.<br><br> plz i give brainliest.
Sonja [21]

Answer:

23.5 inches^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle = 1/2 * base * height

area = 1/2 * (5+2) * (5+4)

area = 31.5 in^2

Area of rectangle = length * breadth

area = 4 * 2

area = 8 in^2

Area of figure = area of triangle - area of rectangle

area = 31.5 - 8

area =23.5 in^2

The formula for converting Celsius temperatures to Fahrenheit temperatures is a linear equation. Water freezes at 0°C, or 32°F a
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The formula y = mx + b sometimes appears with

different symbols.

For example, instead of x, we could use the

letter C. Instead of y, we could use the letter F.

Then the equation becomes

F = mC + b.

All temperature scales are related by linear

equations. For example, the temperature in

degrees Fahrenheit is a linear function of degrees Celsius.

Water freezes at: 0°C, 32°F

Water Boils at: 100°C, 212°F

Hope this helps!

HELP ASAP PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damm [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of drawing a right triangle, with the hypotenuse connected to points A and B.  The hypotenuse, or the distance between A and B is 2√10.  2√10 is the same thing as √40.  Thus, because of Pythagorean theorem, a^2 + b^2 = 40. One combination would be a=2 and b = 6 and another would be a = 6 and b = 2.  Thus, the two places point B could be are (3,7) and (7,3).

Hope it helps <3
